You're trying to find out whether a URL points to a valid resource
without actually fetching the file. Are you sure that's what you really
need? If you just need to get a file from you own server you don't need
to play with HTTP: feed file_exists() with a file system path:

$file=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/images/dwg_images/5005/5005001_.pdf';

if( file_exists($file) ){
// Whatever
}
