Dwg to PDF without AutoCAD

The purchasing group in my company need to batch plot autocad dwg files to pdf files to send to vendors. They do not have AutoCAD on their computers. Does anyone know if there is a program to do this or can you please start me on the correct path to creating one. I have done searches on the internet for programs, but I am leary of donwloading them. If I use the AtoCAD API in a program can I make it so they don't need AutoCAD to plot?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

does that question have to do anything with VBA? If so ... what do you like to do with VBA?

 

>> [...] batch plot autocad dwg files to pdf [...]

Download and install >>>Autodesk TrueView<<<, start command _PUBLISH and plot whatever file(s) and layout(s) you like.

I wish I could help you more. We are using Any DWG to PDF, it batch converts DWG files to PDF files without AutoCAD and it supports command line feature.
