You need a program called "DISTILLER" included in ADOBE ACROBAT.
It works exactly as a new printer wich is instaled in your PC. By sending your draw, from AUTOCAD, to this new printer, it would generate not a plot, but a file PDF with the name you assign. This file could be open with ACROBAT READER.
Hope its help. Best Regards

try fineprint factory pro....
it works good for acad and other documents such as word or excell, etc. It's free but has a link to their website at the bottom of the page. to buy, it's only $100, which is A LOT cheaper than adobe. it's easy to use and has a lot of features.

Another great program for use to convert DWG to PDF is AcroPlot. You can do multiple files at one time. The resolution is also very good. You can also buy the Jr version that will allow you to convert all layout tabs in a single drawing to PDF files.
I have been using the Jr version for about a year. It has worked great, and the support offered by the company is excellent.

Adobe Acrobat includes two PDF printer drivers: Distiller and PDF Writer.
Distiller actually converts postscript (PS) files to PDF. When you print to Distiller, you actually generate a PS file first, which is then converted to PDF.
The PDF writer, on the other hand, prints more directly to PDF. It is somewhat faster and easier to use, but doesn't offer as much control as Distiller.
