How do I save a print from inside AutoCad as a PDF file? I have not found a
way of doing this from any of the menu option.

assuming you are running windows

Step 1-
Install a postscript printer driver on your computer. You may
have on already.
to download one click on

Step 2-
select this printer as your output device for AutoCAD

Step 3-
using this printer, print to file. Will have the extention .prn
or something similar.

Step3a-
You can use any window program that lets you select the printer
to generate the .prn files such as word, excel, etc. to include
text.

Step 4-
run this file (these files) through a converter program to
generate a pdf file.
