Is there another way to convert AutocadDWG To PDF but to use third party programs? Thanks for any suggestions.

If you are looking to do it without AutoCAD then Open Design Alliance is one of the few options that I have found. If you have AutoCAD installed there is a PDF driver in the newer versions.

You could use DWG Trueview (free from AutoDesk) and print through a PDF print driver. PDF Xchange is the best PDF printer I have found for AutoCAD. Most others, including AutoCAD's own implementation bloat the PDF to about 10x the size and render text as line objects. That's a total FAIL.
You used to be able to hook into bits of Trueview programmatically but it never had a documented API as such and certaily wasn't officially sanctioned. Try Google for solutions along those lines.

The PDF driver in AutoCAD 2010 is much-improved over previous version and is quite usable. It is now my default for DWG - PDF.
