Hi all,
       I am bit confused about using distiller for converting .dwg to PDF conversion. I need a server application which takes a .dwg file as an input and depending on the file attributes, converts it into a suitable PDF file (A4, A3, etc. depending on the .dwg file). Is using distiller a good idea or I should be looking into other tools?? Can Livecycle PDF generator handle such a thing??Kindly help me in this regard..

Distiller converts PostScript to PDF, nothing else. Distiller Server
is technically identical.

So to do this with Distiller you would
(a) need Distiller Server and
(b) need to make your own process to convert DWG to PostScript,
perhaps by automating AutoCAD.

LiveCycle PDF Generator, however, includes a package of conversion
tools for a list of specific file types. I don't know if DWG files are
in the list - there is a LiveCycle PDF Generator forum, so I recommend
trying there.
