(Pardon the interjection in a sea of WGA. I'll try to return to a mood of
rage and dudgeon asap....)

Someone here deals with Autocad daily.  I'm way, way out of touch.

Say you're talking to an ACAD jockey who's most definitely NOT a computer
type.  He's firmly mired in printing out his work, on a (!) blueline roll
printer and a 4' wide DesignJet color thingie.  He does ONLY architectural
drawings - plans, elevations and details, line drawings with dimensions. 
He wants to send customers a file that they can at least scroll around on
their recent computer screens, and perhaps print out sections of.  He runs
Acad 2004.

What would you advise him to do, to output to, I guess, PDF?

Is DXF used at all any more?

Is the full Acrobat any more convenient for this than the freeware
programs, or Geo's print to PS-then-PDF solution?

Is there such a thing as a quick and dirty "booklet printer"
program that will print a huge drawing to a letter/A4-size printer in
slightly overlapping pieces, so that the pages can be slapped in a gripper
binder and taken away?

This is *not* a manufacturing operation.  There will  be no numerical
cutting/layout/modeling.  Parts/materials lists can be stripped.  No one
will measure from the drawings.  The contractors will have real full-size
drawings. I'd guess freedom from bitmap-conversion jaggies is important,
though.

Am I thinking inside the box?
