It is not possible to directly create a PDF from PDMS.
First you have make a PDMS plotfile of the drawing, and then you use the %PDMSEXE%\plot\plot.exe application to convert it to a postscript file. The postscript file generated can then be converted to PDF with different kinds of distiller applications (Free distiller, acrobat distiller etc) or by using the PDFCreator application.
PDFCreator is an excellent application. Once you have installed it you can make PDFs from any Windows applciation by using it as a normal printer. And the best of all, it is FREE. You can download it from http://www.pdfforge.org
You can use PDFCreator to convert your postscript file in the background by using arguments like: PDFCreator.exe -IF"c:\data\myfile.ps" -OF"c:\data\myfile.pdf"
It is possible to make a program that would do all the above steps within PDMS.
