Free online PDF tool

CAD to PDF

Converts an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg or .dxf) to a one-page PDF, drawn as vector lines that stay sharp at any zoom, with the drawing's layer colours, text and hatches. A drawing with a paper-space sheet is drawn as that sheet; otherwise the model is fitted to the page. 3-D is drawn as a top view, and AutoCAD's own SHX fonts and solid models are not reproduced. Converting needs a server, so the file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted, and the copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back, unless you are signed in and asked to keep it.
