If you don't have Acrobat Distiller, you can still create PDFs from
AutoCAD, using GhostScript.  The following is a message from our AutoCAD
discussion group within our company.
=20
You may want to experiment with the utilities "MakePDF", "Ghostview",
and "Ghostscript".  They are all free and are basically converters for
postscript to pdf.  Very simple, fast, and cost-effective.  These are
utilities and not specific to AutoCAD.  You can convert any postscript
file to pdf.  If using programs such as Word, Excel, etc., you have to
"print to file" and then convert the postscript file to pdf.

Ghostscript and Ghostview - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

MakePDF - http://www.lexacorp.com.pg/  (need Ghostscript installed
first)

	I think as Charles suggested, you have to print/plot to a PDF
from AutoCAD if you have the adobe acrobat distiller 6.0 or above is
good.=20

	AutoCAD does not have a direct export to PDF. You must have a
third
	party PDF generator to create PDFs from AutoCAD. It will create
jpg and
	dwfs though. =20
