Editor's review
This is software that can convert DWG and DXF drawing standard files into PDF documents.
When working with partners, who need to view drawings, but do not need to have fully fledged CAD to modify the drawings a PDF document would suffice. This methodology would not require the partners to have expensive CAD software with them. Both DWG and DXF are standard format drawings created by Autodesk but is considered an industry standard now. Both these formats have undergone several changes over the years. It is thus important that any software dealing with these two drawing formats, should be compatible with all these changes. This PDF converter is compatible with R2.5, R2.6 to R2005/2006/2007/2008 file formats. You can run the program as a standalone utility or as a command line interface for batch processing. Context sensitive right click based conversion is also available.
The interface is absolutely straightforward. You have the controls to create a batch, select the output file path, manage the settings and then it is one click conversion. You can choose layouts or layers to convert, as well as control your PDF output colors. Current, Model, or Layouts Only are the options available in layouts. Layer name or the type will let you choose the layers to be selected for output. PDF output options include full color, grayscale, or black-and-white. If you do need large volume of such conversions day in day out, this is a tool that can save tying up an expensive AutoCAD for this mundane job.
