Convert AutoCad R12 .dxf to .pdf?

[TomW]

I have 6 simple autocad r12 .dxf files that I'm trying to convert to .pdf They were drawn with emachineshop.com's free software, but it's print function won't scale correctly. It has an export to .dxf, which I have done. I cannot find a freeware .dxf printer that works, so I'm looking for kind sole that has access to AutoCad r12 who might be interested in seeing if AutoCad itself might produce a full size .pdf.

Volunteer or advice wholeheartedly appreciated!

Try this. DXF to PDF Converter -- AutoDWG They also have a pdf to dwg converter.

Don't know if the latest AutoCad will open that or not, but if it will I'd be glad to do it. Wow, version 12, I first learned when 13 came out.

Thanks guys. The Penguin has the files and has "his folks" looking at it. I guess this is my fault, for choosing to use a free app for something it wasn't designed for.

Depending on what happens, I may be begging for an AutoCad expert for a little contract work...

Tom -

The file you sent me was a PNG, not a DXF

can you send the DXF?

Should be able to either plot to PDF or just save as a PDF.
I use CAD 2012 almost every day at work. Need help, let me know.

I loved R12, especially after R13 came out and we spent a month making command prompt buttons...
I will have to try this for my drawings -- anyone have a 3.5 floppy ???

If you still need help. I have another program that might open an old dxf file.

I have solidworks and ProE. I might be able to help If you are still looking. I can convert to just about anything.

Thanks

Thanks for all the offers. I think The Penguin and I have it worked out (at least until CNC time!). I'm keeping all the offers in mind, however. Isn't this a great community?!
