I have CG-19 on a PC that is not hooked up to internet (I only use macs for internet). I also have adobe installed. How do I convert a dwg file into a pdf file, between these two programs?
Is Adobe just a reader or a writer?
Can you see it as a Printer?
If latter, then you should be able to print to PDF.
Need to set up page parameters and scale etc.
There's other things to consider (line weights and colours) , but unsure what you're dealing with.
No doubt others will chip in.
Not sure what CG-19 is. Comes up as a retirement home to a monitor at this end.
Should you have a Brother printer or another that has an option to install PaperPort, do that and it will make a pdf file when selected as printer.

CG-19 is survey software that Carlson absorbed some time ago (not sure when). Know nothing about it, but, as others have stated, the avenues to PDF are several. One of the simplest would be to take one or more screen shots from the PC and open them in Preview on the Mac (or Adobe Acrobat). There are also on line converters that will do it for free--submit the .dwg; get a pdf back. I can't recommend any one specifically, as I haven't used any one in particular. Transfer the .dwg to the mac via a usb stick (or network drive etc.); upload it to the internet with the Mac.
Ever use DraftSIGHT by Dassault? It's a complete, good AutoCAD clone (genuine freeware). It'll create or open dwg and export in PDF. It has paperspsce, layer control.
thanks - as always.
