I just spent two hours with Adobe tech support. I have Windows 11 and the DC cloud never fully installed. I can't convert an AutoCAD dwg file to pdf, which is one of the main reasons I got the Pro version. Tech support uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned, etc., and still couldn't get the dwg files to ...
Acrobat can certainly convert DWG files into 2D PDF sheets without needing AutoCAD installed, but it's a well-hidden feature! Either use File > Open and change the file type dropdown to "All Files (*.*)" so you can pick a DWG, or drag and drop the DWG directly onto Acrobat's workspace. You will get a conversion dialog with various options ...
Save as, Export to, or print to PDF from the original CAD program is the preferred method to produce a high-quality PDF. You can sometimes use Illustrator to open a .dwg and re-save as a PDF, when I tried to open your .dwg file in Illustrator I received a message about missing fonts.
Actually, all of my dwg files are being converted to pdf automatically. In windows settings it shows adobe as the app to open dwg, yet this cant be changed. Well, this is a misunderstanding between Windows applications.
To convert the PDF into a Black & White document, you first need to go to Print Production. If it isn't showing on the right-hand edge, go to your More Tools and you'll find it there (2nd from right). Now, go to Preflight. And finally select the top option and click the little flag on the right.
Yes, DWG 2018 version are not supported (so all DWG files that have been saved with a 2018 Autocad or above are not supported) So you can always do it with older DWG versions if you are interested (but you have to download a previous adobe version that allows it (i think it was 2019) and it has to be in 32-bit if I remember well) We didn't ...
I have a pdf of a couple excerpts from DWG. Sheet 1 is a print from AutoCAD using the Acrobat distiller printer and Sheet 2 is a direct import from dwg into Adobe Acrobat XI. I have specified the path in the Adobe preferences to find the correct .ctb file that the drawing uses to plot. You can see the obvious diefference between them.
It doesn't really work. Adobe and Autodesk have likely ended a partnership, resulting in new versions of Acrobat no longer supporting any DWG to PDF conversion, regardless of the DWG version. With older versions of Acrobat (2017 i believe), this conversion is only possible for DWG being saved with Autocad 2017 or below, If i remember correctly.
Thanks for your reply Amal I have sorted it now - I was using the wrong method in AutoCAD to export the file. It was someone on here called Luke Jennings who got straight to the bottom of what I was doing wrong
Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. As described, Acrobat Reader slow performance when opening the PDF created from AutoCAD . Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file/ crreated from Autocad or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file (Non AutoCad) and see if thats working fine.
