You should have DWG to PDF plotter in AutoCAD by default. This is very handy if you need to publish your drawing to PDF format, you don't need to use a separate PDF driver.
Hi Steve, In AutoCAD 2018 for Mac AutoCAD PDF (.).pc3 are just ready made settings for different types of PDF output based on the same PDF engine (pdfplot14.bundle 14.00.048.294) as DWG to PDF.pc3. To create a new 'DWG to PDF.pc3' driver: On the command line in AutoCAD, type PLOTTERMANAGER. Optional, but recommended, select the existing 'DWG to PDF.pc3' file and rename it. Double-click the Add-A-Plotter Wizard.
However, you may find it's not available for some reason. The ‘plotter' is a pc3 file stored in your PC. So if you delete it, then you will lose the plotter.

Image plotters
I also use this wizard to create TIFF and TGA plotters to create high-resolution images. Plotting drawings to JPEG is often not good enough. You can choose Raster File Formats as a manufacturer to create those plotters.
