You need to have Adobe Acrobat DC Pro then you can simply right click on the .dwg file select covert to PDF and it will do it automatically.

Apparently Acrobat cannot convert DWG to PDF. I resorted to simply asking my client for a PDF since Acrobat cannot convert the file.

Hello Sarojini:

I upgraded my subscription to acrobat DC and when I click on “Create PDF”, it shows that conversion of dwg files are still not supported.

What should I do nbow?

Download QCAD to open DWG files and then print them to PDF format.

QCAD is open source - i.e. free.

Good luck.
