Any DWG and DXF to PDF Converter

Any DWG and DXF to PDF Converter converts AutoCAD drawings to vector PDFs.

Pros: This converter application converts DWX and DWG files into vector PDF documents. It is a stand-alone utility and does not need a AutoCAD running in the same machine. Through its easy to use interface it converts a whole batch of these files at a time. You can choose layouts or layers to convert, as well as control your output colors that appear on the final document in the PDF format. One can also select layouts to convert by name. Other options include current, Model, or Layouts Only You could convert drawings by specific layers, by layer names or layer types(on/off, lock/unlock, frozen/unfrozen, or plottable/ unplottable). Output colors in the PDF document to choose from will be full color, grayscale, or black-and-white. Drawing files that has been created by a wide range of versions of AutoCAD can be handled.

Adding files/folders and removing them via the interface one creates a list of the files to be converted. One then selects the folder into which the output file is to be stored. Options has selections in output sizes and color of the drawings, SHX and XRef directories, output layout in paper space or model space, line width selections and PDF properties. The author, title, subject and keywords can be specified under these PDF properties options. Under pen width option either default or custom widths of 1 to 100 can be chosen. SHX fonts and the cross-reference directories are specified in the SHX and XRef options. PDF document sizes, standard or custom as well as margins are specified under the output size and color options. Besides output color you can choose a background color too. PDF document quality and whether one PDF per layout or single document for the drawing can be specified. Supports every version of DWG/DXF files released so far namely R2.5/2.6, R9, R10, R12, R13, R14, R2000/2002, R2004/2005/2006, 2007, 2008 formats.

Cons: Most conversion applications, particularly one that has to handle so many types of entities as a engineering drawing file, is open to problems in some combination. So you need to look out for such issue though nothing problematic has been detected.

Overall this is a fine program with a wizard-like operation that fulfills an important functionality. This is clearly a 4 star pack.
