Convert dwg file from acrobat to pdf

When the .dwg file is converted from Acrobat to PDF, it is shown as a blank screen.

Only certain files are recalled to the bin screen, are there any compatible .dwg file options or types limited?

 

I bought Acrobat to convert the dwg file to PDF, but I can't work because it is shown on a blank screen!

Please help me..

I believe Acrobat will only convert a .dwg to .pdf if you also have the CAD software. This seems a bit misleading to me and you probably have grounds to ask for your money back.

There is a free CAD viewer from Autodesk that seems to work well, you can print a PDF from the viewer, but it is a low res image. Here is a link to your .dwg opened in the Autodesk viewer:

Save as, Export to, or print to PDF from the original CAD program is the preferred method to produce a high-quality PDF. You can sometimes use Illustrator to open a .dwg and re-save as a PDF, when I tried to open your .dwg file in Illustrator I received a message about missing fonts. If you don't have the fonts, you could substitute them for other fonts and re-format all of the type, which might be your best option, (if you don't have the original CAD program). I also needed to increase the artboard size in Illustrator before saving as a PDF.

I know I can import and save .dwg files in Illustrator. But I don't have an Illustrator license!

I bought Acrobat when I saw that Acrobat could convert the .dwg file to pdf on the [Supported file formats in Acrobat and Reader] site, but it keeps showing blank screen!

 

Is there any way to convert from Acrobat without CAD and Illustrator??

Hi,

Ca nyou confirm the verion of the software you use and the operating system you have?

 

I always prefer to 'Plot' command (print) a drawing to PDF. It will use your pen assignmenta to apply line thicknesses and styles.

I don't think it's a software version and an operating system version problem.

 

  • Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 18363)
    Acrobat 2020 version.
  • macOS Mojave (10.14.6)
    Acrobat DC 20.0

 

Unfortunately, I don't have CAD license. I have to convert this .dwg file to pdf to review.

Is Acrobat difficult to convert .dwg to PDF?
