We love 64-bit. Our applications run on 64-bit. It's not a question of love
for 64-bit. DWF Writer is a weird beast. It's a utility that pretends to be
a printer. It intercepts the print commands and writes what it gets to the
DWF file. DWF Writer is only useful for non-Autodesk applications. Our
applications have their own built-in DWF pipeline, so DWF Writer is a
non-issue for them. We are doing more and more with PDF. Autodesk Design
Review now reads PDF.

Realistically, DWF writer will never compete seriously with PDF if you don't
support 64bit. It is difficult enough to get people to use it (and I try
because I think it is superior/free), but I can't force the issue if it is
not supported. Not including 64bit, considering that Autodesk's flagship
architectural package (Revit) works best on 64bit, is condemning DWF to
always being 2nd rate.
I need to import an Excel file into Revit. Revit has very limited import
capabilities, so I thought that I would DWF print the excel file then
import. Can't install the DWF writer because I have 64bit. I will have to
go to another machine to accomplish this.
