Converting to PDF

The "standard" application for this is Adobe Acrobat (full version, not the free Reader). Acrobat is a full-fledged creator, editor, and manager for PDF files, and tends to be favored in "professional" shops.

However, there are a number of low-cost and free alternatives for those who wish to simply create PDF files and don't need all the other bells and whistles. Use whatever serves *your* needs. ___

Is there any totally free PDF-making-program, without any waterstamps or anything else? Tomas

Ok, PDF995 is free, but there´s some popup-window. Plot2PDF is only a 30 days demo? Tomas

So spend ten bucks to register it. Sheesh. ___

I guess I could, but I live in Sweden and have no credit card... sorry! Tomas

I use PDF995, so it tries to connect to a web site. Just cancel it...............................

There used to be one called ottopdf. It's probably still out there somewhere.

How about PDF-XChange 3.0?

I toyed with Acrobat, but it seems as though you have to use Distiller to convert CAD drawings. And I don't see a way to convert in batch using Distiller. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!

Use the Distiller or PDFWriter printer devices. Set up the one you prefer as a system printer in AutoCAD; then you can 'print' to PDF directly from the Print/Plot dialog, or using any Batch Plot utility. ___
