What Bart said Willay.

Turns out my copy of AutoCAD 2002 won't load 2004 drawings! Makes sense I suppose!

Never used any sort of CAD programs so bear with me, can you not install a PDF program that makes a 'virtual printer' ? Basically another printer appears in your list of printers but when you print to it, it just converts the doc/viso/whatever to a PDF file and asks where you want to save it to.
