To answer your question yes it's called Adobe Acrobat Exchange. Adobe Acrobat Exchange about $200 will allow you to set up an Acrobat PDF writer as a printer. This is a simple and straight forward way to simply print to a PDF file from any Windows program. This is the simplest solution because you will not need to learn another interface tool and the power of exchange is well worth the investment. We supply our Fabricators with a Fabrication drawing in PDF. Furthermore it does it in color and has search capabilities.
