You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I got my brother-in-law to make some vector graphic maps for me, using AutoCad which he use professionally. My own computer can't read these files, so he converted them to .pdf files for me, which I can print, and from which I can leave out layers to taste.
Can anyone seeing the .pdf files, or simply the prints they produce, tell that the files were made with AutoCad in the first place?

In most of the PDF files on my system the tag is there with creator data filled in.
I would be surprised if AutoCAD created a pdf file without the tag.
