Adobe does is not recognizing files that are from AutoCad/AutoDesk. I have used Adobe for years to change AutoCad ".dwg"  files into .".pdf" files. When I try to do it now I get a screen that says that the DWG files are compatible, and down below another message that says that Adobe does not recognize AutoCad "DWG" files. I have a screen photograph of the message but I do not know how to send it to you. Please help,  I need to send drawings to my enginnering consultants'. Reply to Jose E [private info deleted]

Are ".dwg" files supported by Adobe. I sent file to you about 3 days ago, and was told that you were able to open it and that you were able to create a ".pdf" file from it. Was the message I received correct?

>>>I sent file to you about 3 days ago,

Sent a file to who? Not me--I do not work for Adobe.

 

Do you have AutoCAD installed? If so, what version?

This is a completely different topic. You should start a new discussion if you want prompt answers. Also, don't post private data like emails. Adobe has a message system built into the forums. [Moved to new discussion] 

 

However, check out this discussion:https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/dwg-to-pdf-not-supported-anymore/td-p/13108578

Mr. David Creamer, for seral days I have been trying to convert ".dwg" files into ".pdf". It is process that I have done frequently through many years - successfully. Has Adobe dropped the AutoCad/AutoDesk ".dwg" format?

Please respond. If possible let me now what to do?
