How do i convert a CAD file that was sent to me via email into a PDF so that i cant read it on my computer? does that CAD file need to be converted before it is sent to me via email? when i try to convert the CAD file, it says that the PDF maker was unable to produce a PDF. I am new to this program and still trying to figure it out. The reason we bought this program was so we could convert CAD files into a PDF.
Thank you

If you're referring to converting DWG drawings to PDF then take a look at Tim Huff's blog on "Creating PDF’s from DWG’s without AutoCAD" at:
