Question
I want to convert hundred of dwg files in to pdf format.
It is not at all logical to open individal file & convert it in to pdf.
Please suggest any simple way so that I can open all dwg files from predefined location (folder) & save them in the same folder by converting in pdf. ( in Batch)

Answer
According to my friend Tom White at Project Lead the Way...PDF Printer is the term associated with the ability to convert any printable file to a pdf.  There are several free downloads and I believe Revit even had one that you could install.  You can
also use the Adobe Distiller.  Inventor 2009 has a built in pdf converter.  

I found on line at:
http://www.autodwg.com/PDF/?gclid=CKjGsqi62JICFRciFQodqSIF-Q
It costs $99

Bluebeam Software has a converter that has a free trial:

Any DWG to PDF Converter is $89 and comes with a free trial.
It's at http://anydwg.com/dwg2pdf/

Sorry for the delay in your answer...it's been a busy week.
