Convert DWG and DXF Files quickly and easily without the need of AutoCAD. Advanced DWG to PDF Workshop converts DWG and DXF files to vector PDFs - and you don`t need to have AutoCAD to use it. Page, view, and layout from your drawing are retained.

Pros: With the Advanced DWG to PDF workshop you can easily convert drawing files from AutoCAD to PDF documents. PDFs are easily shareable. Both DWG and DXF formats can be handled by the program. AutoCAD or Acrobat need not be present, this application is capable of converting the drawing files from all the release versions to vector PDF without a hitch. It converts DWG and DXF files between R12, R13, R14, R2000 and R2004/2007/2008 formats. Page, view and layout are retained in the converted files. If you need to scale the drawings for conversion you could do that too. Combining multiple files into one document also is possible.

The conversion process can take care of a batch of drawing files, which is very convenient. The interface is simple. Main display area shows a list of files selected for conversion. Button controls on the side let you do that easily. Whether you want to select a file or a folder and more specifically a folder of DWG files or a folder of DXF files; it is easily done. Remove buttons lets you remove specific files or all of them from the list. Options lets you set paper size, colors etc and if you need one layout per PDF, all drawings into a PDF and one drawing per PDF. Output layout, SHX directories and pen width are the other things you can choose to customize.

Cons: No problematic issues noticed.

Overall: A useful program with a simple interface this is a 4 star item.
