I don't have Autocad installed on my MacBook Pro 2015 operating on Mac OSX Sierra and I want to convert DWG format drawings into PDF format without opening the DWG files. Anyway Possible?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
Although I have not used it in several years, DraftSight had/has a free version that you can print from. Just use the Mac's native PDF printing from the print dialog and it should work.

There is a free online service at http://www.zamzar.com/convert/dwg-to-pdf/ that is free to use and claims to do the job. Once submitted, it provides a link to download the converted file.
I have not tried this and have no association with them.
You ask for a way to convert "without opening the DWG files" but any app on your computer will open the file to do the conversion.
Hi! Thanks for the inputs! Draftsight has a trial version of 30 days post which they are expensive to purchase. I tried it and found it to be decent. But way too expensive for once in a while application.
Hi!
Zamzar charges US$9 per month for basic use. It becomes expensive if you just have to use the application for 1 or 2 times a month.
