One of the best AutoCAD to PDF files converters is "Any DWG to PDF Converter" it's simple and pretty straight forward to use and the result is satisfying.
The only issue that i found with it is the 30 day trial period so if you want to work offline you'll need to buy the software.

There's an alternative which is a website called "Zamzar" that converts different file types including DWG to PDF online for free without any additional software.
