Converting AutoCAD Drawings to PDF for Visual C#

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// This example was designed for using in Microsoft Visual C# from 
// Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 or above.
//
// 1. Autodesk AutoCAD 2000 or above should be installed and activated on your PC.
//    Autodesk AutoCAD LT does not have COM interface and cannot be used as COM-server!
//
// 2. Universal Document Converter 5.2 or above should be installed, too.
//
// 3. Add references to "AutoCAD 2006 Type Library", "AutoCAD/ObjectDBX Common 16.0 Type Library" and 
//    "Universal Document Converter Type Library" using the Project | Add Reference menu > COM tab.
//    The version numbers in the type library names may be different depending on AutoCAD's version 
//    installed on your computer.
