I have not found a way. I have Adobe Pro. There may be a setting, but not found yet.
I also have not had a use to do this.

If you have Adobe Illustrator, It may work.
Save your Drawing As *.Dwg, or *.Dxf, open it with illustrator.
you should see the layers, then from illustrator Save As *.PDF
Kind of long process. hope you'll find an easier way.
