I am looking for some software to enable me to convert my AutoCAD DWG files into PDF files so I can send them to people who cannot open DWG files.

Does anyone have any experience with these or one that they like using - I have checked out a couple of demos of the many that are out there but have not seen one that seemed to me to be easy to use and flexible

All comments welcome!

Thanks in advance

Do you have Acrobat? According to Jonathan Bowman:

Quote: A new feature in Acrobat 8 is you have the ability to create a PDF of a dwg without having an AutoCAD license! I personally know several people who have an AutoCAD license just to be able to open, view, and print a dwg. Now you just simply right-click on the dwg and choose convert to pdf. Even better you can choose multiple dwg's and right-click and choose combine into pdf. It is that simple.

Cordially, David

No I'm afraid I do not have Acrobat... anyone with experience of any of the smaller programs?

At my former job I used this DWG to PDF converter almost daily. Works very good!
