PDF creators are available as freeware/contributeware/etc all over. JimThere are two sets of files, but you should need only one for plain PDF creation.įor Win7 you may need some new version. My PC is only a year old, running Win7.don't know what the deal is. Said it had files that needed updating, or something. I tried downloading it, but the installer wouldn't install. for single pdf print/converts, the free version works fine. you also need the paid version to batch print, as we occasionally needed to batch print hundreds of pdf files at a time. we did spend the $9.95 per seat to avoid the ads though. we only needed to "print" a portable pdf document. adobe is the gold standard, but they offered way more features and functions that we didn't need. we created thousands, if not tens of thousands of pdf files with pdf995. when you have a few dozen employees that have the need to create pdf files, but spending several hundred dollars per seat times several dozen seats seems a little much, you find alternatives. we used it at the company i used to work for. Jimif you're on the fence about the pdf printer issue. I'll look into viewers and see what shows up. I didn't search for viewers.just converters. A couple of the reviews on TurboCAD were pretty bad, so I'm not sure I want to do that. A simple viewer would be fine, as would a different CAD program, if that's what it takes. ![]() for my daily bread earning i use a more specialized piece of software that's in the neighborhood of $30k, so that's not one i can recommend for casual use Thanks.I'm willing to go either way. i ended up buying the previous version of autodesk autosketch for something like $30 on ebay a few years back. i tried some free ones and never liked them. If you are looking for a functioning cad package to actually use, then you've got more ahead of you. it sounds like the nitro pdf that another person described works the same as the pdf995 that i use and i'm sure there are many others like it too. it's the same as any windows program such as word, excel, paint, or whatever. you don't need to know how to do anything inside the cad program other than: file -> print. if that is the case then you don't need to "learn" anything. i assumed that you just wanted to be able to convert a dwg to a pdf to print / view / pass on. for my daily bread earning i use a more specialized piece of software that's in the neighborhood of $30k, so that's not one i can recommend for casual use all you need to do is to be able to double click on the dwg to open it, then hit file: print and it's just a windows function from there. if not, google any number of huindreds of other free viewers and cad packages. i am not familiar with most of the autodesk stuff, so i wasn't sure if the free viewer allowed printing. it sounds like the nitro pdf that another person described works the same as the pdf995 that i use and i'm sure there are many others like it too.Īside from that you just need a way to open the dwg. So, is there a cheap CAD out there that is similar to Intellicad? The more expensive software will convert them without opening them. I can get the files into my 'net machine.just can't open them, which is what's needed with the cheap conversion software out there. I don't mind doing it the way I'm doing it now. I looked at some freebies, but was sort of hoping I could find something that I could use my Intellicad (now Bricsnet) skills with.I hate having to start over. So, I have to make a CD to transfer the files, and then I don't have a program to open them. I can't use the version I have in my Win 7 machine, so I use it on my old Win98 unit. The updates eventually got really expensive, so I stopped updating. I needed it for my construction business, and couldn't afford Auto-Cad. I learned CAD using Intellicad, years ago.
