If using Mac OS then print -save as pdf

If using Windows you need to either
1)adobe acrobat to print to as pdf
2)install the pdf writer that comes with AC
3)create a postscript printer -print to file (as an EPS) then open in photoshop or illustrator and save as pdf
4)get all files in PM and publish to eps and follow #3
5) save as dwg and open in illustrator (or CorelDraw) and save as pdf

Thank you for your help. To clarify, I have Mac OS 9.2.2, w/ archicad 6.0v5, I know how to print the document, but not how to publish it on the web as a PDF.

I have not used OS 9 in a long time but in OS X when you choose print you have the option to save the file to pdf

If you mean that you already know how to create the pdf but not how to upload it to a website or create a site then you might check the .mac tutorials at apple.com
