I'm looking for a utility or a program for Ubuntu, and possibly even for Windows that is able to convert a CAD file format .DWG to PDF.
My need is to provide a preview of CAD files, and I thought that the easiest way is to convert them into PDF format, but I'm open to suggestions, even if there is only the possibility to convert them to JPG image file type or PNG would be fine.
What interests me is only to find some solution, no matter if it is commercial or free

You can use QCAD, an open source AutoCAD replacement or the community fork LibreCAD made to work using the newer Qt4 framework. You can install LibreCAD from the Ubuntu Software Center. Using one of these two programs you import DWG files, edit the drawing and export it to PDF.

Best linux-native solution for dwg should be TeighaViewer. Teigha technologies are used by hundreds of companies around the world. Teigha is for dwg what LibreOffice is for office files (doc, xls, etc). Teigha is basically a Design Alliance, a common effort around the world to break the dictatorship of Adsk's dwg. Bricscad, DraftSight, Ares Commander, CorelCAD, Intellicad and many others are members of teigha.
Inkscape can also open .dwg files. But it doesn't always read them right (display errors and scale errors), depending on what app generated the dwg file.
Inkscape deals better with .dxf files, because dxfs can't contain advanced entities, just basic entities like lines, arcs, splines, points and dimensions.

Qcad works, of course you have to pay for it. Varicad was a last resource but it crashes reading new files (autocad 2017).Same with Teighaviewer.Lx-viewer do

Looks great but for the sake of full disclosure, you should add that this is not FOSS & that it costs over $1000 USD (cheapest option).

I used FreeCad.
sudo apt install freecad
If you are using Ubuntu 18.04, you could get the error No module named WebGui. In that case install it from the another repository as follows.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
sudo apt-get update
Also, you need to install a third-party plugin ODA File Converter from https://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/oda_file_converter to support import of DWG formats.
And set the path to the converter executable manually. open Edit → Preferences → Import-Export → DWG and fill "Path to Teigha File Converter" appropriately.
After installing the .deb package on Ubuntu, the executable's path is /usr/bin/ODAFileConverter. Looking at the extracted RPM file, it seems to be installed under /usr/local/bin/ODAFileConverter.

Looks great but for the sake of full disclosure, you should add that this is not FOSS & that it costs over $1000 USD (cheapest option).

I used FreeCad.
sudo apt install freecad
If you are using Ubuntu 18.04, you could get the error No module named WebGui. In that case install it from the another repository as follows.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
sudo apt-get update
Also, you need to install a third-party plugin ODA File Converter from https://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/oda_file_converter to support import of DWG formats.
And set the path to the converter executable manually. open Edit → Preferences → Import-Export → DWG and fill "Path to Teigha File Converter" appropriately.
After installing the .deb package on Ubuntu, the executable's path is /usr/bin/ODAFileConverter. Looking at the extracted RPM file, it seems to be installed under /usr/local/bin/ODAFileConverter.
