Guthrie CAD/GIS software offers two DWG to PDF batch conversion tools. dwgConvert is an easy to use DWG to PDF batch converter software. Of course it can batch convert DXF to PDF and batch plot to PDF too.
On the other hand, CAD Batch Command batch converts DWG to PDF and batch prints hundreds of AutoCAD files via command line operation. CAD Batch Command functionality allows the software to be called from your own application to view, print, save, and convert drawings.
• Batch converting hundreds of DWG / DXF files to PDF or raster images
• Batch printing any number of AutoCAD drawings or PDF files
AutoCAD files conversion
• Converts among DWG, DXF and DWF files, such as converting DWG to DXF / DXF to DWG / DWF to DWG etc.
• Converts all DWG, DXF and DWF files to PDF, such as converting DWG to PDF / DXF to PDF / DWF to PDF.
• Reads all DXF and DWG versions 2.5 to 2018
• Write DXF / DWG versions 9-14, 2000-2002, 2004-2009, 2011-2017, 2018
• Read / Write DWF versions 4.2, 5.5, 6.0
• Superior conversions to earlier versions of AutoCAD allow closest preservation of the original drawing.
Batch Conversion
• Available via both within the user interface, and on the command line.
• Supports Wild Card file naming. e.g. dwgConvert *.DWG *.DXF
• Command Line mode allows automated translations. (Available in Network Licenses and 5+ user Licenses only.)
Explode (Convert) Block references and entities
• Explode complex entities such as Attrib, Table, Spline, Region, 3DSolid, Body, Mechanical Desktop, Block, Dimension, Leader, Hatch, Polyface Mesh, 3D Face, Ellipse to simpler entity types.
• Extract and Replace OLE objects with Raster Images
• MText to Text conversion
• Explode SHX text to lines
• Explode of MText with emebedded fonts keeping embedded font styles
Repair and purge AutoCAD drawings

• Purge unused Blocks from the drawing. (A later version of dwgConvert will also purge unused Dimension Styles, Layers, Linetypes, Text styles.)
Other useful features
• Extract Layouts to separate drawings
• Remove all paper space Layouts to create a model space drawing only
• Delete entities on turned-off layers
BASIC FEATURES:
• Load, Zoom, Print, Save, and Convert drawings from the Command Line.
CONVERSION FEATURES:
• Save drawings to a raster image file.
• Batch conversion of vector CAD files (DXF, DWG, DGN, HPGL) to raster formats (BMP, JPG, TIFF, PDF..).
• Convert drawings to BMP, CAL, GIF, GP4, JPEG, PNG, TIFF from the command line.
• Convert multiple files to PDF format.
• Wildcard naming (e.g. *.dwg).
AUTOMATED OPERATIONS:
• Perform automated operations with no user interaction.
• Load and print drawings / batch print automatically with no limit on the number of drawings to be printed.
USER DEFINED VIEW SETTING:
• Zoom drawings to a user defined view (useful for mapping and electrical diagrams).
OPERATION FROM ANOTHER APPLICATION:
• Call CAD Viewer from another application for a single or multiple drawings.
• Display, print, save, and convert CAD files from another application.
CAD LAYERS CONTROL (ON / OFF):
• Load drawings with all Layers turned on with the choice of subsequent drawings
to be either loaded normally or with all the Layers turned on..
CONTROLING CAD VIEWER:
• Print, convert or save a drawing without the CAD Viewer window being displayed to the user.
• CAD Viewer can be invoked via command line in MS-DOS window or via Start|Run..
