We set up a system to create PDF files for all our Pro/E drawings. That works great since just about anyone can view a PDF.
To do that, you need to print using the postscript driver to a file, then send that file to Acrobat Distiller. Our IS people set up some scripts that run automatically to do this and then place the PDF's in a Lotus Notes database, but you could just store them in a directory.
Don't try using the MS print manager and then picking the PDF writer. That would be more direct, but it creates a PDF that does not look right.
We also used Pro/Batch to create all the postscript print files to populate the database in the beginning.
