If you're still having this issue, I have a psuedo solution.

Create a mapkey that generates the pdf and saves it to a folder/desktop. Then run the mapkey whenever you want to make the pdf.
For some reason it does it a lot faster this way. I've had it take similar times to generate small pdfs.
I'll give you mine:

Add this to your config.pro file (You can edit it with notepad)
then with your dwg open in creo, type "pdf"
It saves to your desktop in monochrome and 600 DPI (if I recall correctly)

mapkey pdf @MAPKEY_LABELpdf;~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdExportPreview` ;~ Command `ProCmdDwgPubSettings` ;mapkey(continued) ~ Select `intf_profile` `pdf_export.pdf_color_depth` 1 `pdf_mono`;mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `intf_profile` `pdf_export.pdf_launch_viewer` 0;mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `intf_profile` `OkPshBtn`;mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `main_dlg_cur`;~ Command `ProCmdDwgPubExport` ;mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `desktop_pb`;~ Activate `file_saveas` `OK`;

We save as a plot file, distiller prints a much cleaner higher quality PDF. Faster than save as PDF.
