You can convert your dwg file at http://www.cad2xx.com.

Why would you want to use that service? All you have to do is use the built in DWGtoPDF plotter that comes with Autocad. There are also several free pdf programs out there like CutePDF and PDF995, among others. That cad2xx site is not free, even though it says it is. If you read their terms you will see that you have to pay a subscription fee. And then you have to upload your files to their site in order to create the pdf's. I'm sure they probably allow you to print some pdf's for free, as long as they're under a certain minimal file size, but when I tried to find out more about the free and premium services, the page that provides that information could not be found. I would not use this service. It is not necessary. As Tankman said, simply plot to pdf.
