We are trying to use X5 but one of the issues we are running up against is how to create .pdf without have to buy more software. Previously we created a .plt file then used Corel to create a .pdf, but it looks like .plt is gone. Any suggesions how to accomplish this...Corel can read .dwg but not the version that X5 creates, we get corrupt file msg. when attempting to open in Corel.

Any leads suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

Get hold of PDF creating software

it can be freeware ( I have PDFcreator (FREEware) )
when installed you select this option as the printer instead of the your default, set the paper size, orientation, it'll ask for a filename.PDF & location to print it to. and you've got your PDF

It works like you would do a normal print

Good deal, I was checking out the freeware he other day, but was unsure if I wanted to try it out. I will give it a go thanks for the input.
Cheers!

What are you trying to create a PDF of? There is the ability to create a PDF in the Set-up sheet tool that is built in...

I use CutePDF for anything else, it loads like a printer driver so you can use it for any software.
