Given the restrictions, the answer is no.

Frank is right. You need to have a PDF printer driver in order to do it.
There are several available on the market that do a good job. I used to use
Win2PDF from http://www.daneprairie.com/ because it was cheap and did a
relatively good job. I think it's around $35 and was the cheapest one that
I found a year ago.

We are also working on an advanced program that batch converts layouts from
various drawings along with adding the bookmarks and a titlepage. Our
program can even create the email for you. If you want to give it a try the
Beta version is on our site at www.macsolids.com If I get some good
feedback on it I will probably license the PDF driver that we are testing
for redistribution with our program.

Why Autodesk hasn't done it already I will never know. To me the PDF output
is great for sales quotes and general distribution. One of the main reasons
is that it cannot be brought back into AutoCAD in a useful form. Plus you
don't have to worry about fonts, XRef's, linetypes, and all of the other
AutoCAD specific stuff when you ditribute the drawings in PDF format.

Try OttoPDF from www.MyndKryme.com, it is freeware and works pretty well
from my experience.
