This software tool helps covert AutoCAD drawings into PDF documents.
PDF documents have become the document distribution standard. Thus even CAD drawings are often distributed to people in the form of PDF documents; particularly for people who do not have a CAD system because they do not need it, do not need to modify the drawing in any way. A typical situation could be a customer of an architect, who needs to see the drawings in the rendered form and PDF format. In a collaborative project, there are partners often who do not need to modify the drawings and thus do not keep a CAD system with them. Thus, whenever a situation like this arises, instead of tying up a full-fledged AutoCAD or a compatible system, this little utility could be used standalone to get this kind of conversion done easily and quickly.
The interface is simple enough that most anyone with some computer usage experience would be able to handle the operation. It is a batch processor, thus you could simply create a batch list and get the conversion done at a time. There is another way you could get the batch processing done. The pro version of this program offers command line operation and you could evoke a batch of files to be converted through it. However, this is for experienced users as framing the command needs to be done carefully. When invoking the batch operation through the GUI, all the settings could be done through the main screen. PDF metadata could be set and the security options are available. This is a good product and could be useful.
