    I need the software to convert at a 1:1 ratio, meaning turns 1 dwg into 1 pdf retaining the file name just in '.pdf' format. We used to use cute pdf but that is no longer a possibility since we migrated to windows 7. Any ideas CADD gurus?

    I think AutoDesk's dwg viewer ( DWG TrueView) is free, and it can export to pdf.

    We are using the publish in autocad MEP and its causing issues with the PDFs.

    Wow as of a few months ago it wasnt supported for win 7. I guess I should have checked before coming here.

    What AutoCAD are you using? Versions MEP 2011/ 2010 hve built in publish to PDF feature, which works well. You need to put the dwgs in a sheet set for easy publishing.

    We also use Acroplot Pro (paid) software.
