Good suggestion about Acrobat. And actually, even if you don't have
Acrobat there are utilities (that you can download from Adobe) that
enable you to print to PDF form from your driver without having to run
the postscript file through any application. On the Mac side of thing you
can do it with the latest version of Laserwriter (8.5.1) or using PDF
Writer (a little extension). on the PC side I believe it's called Acrobat
writer or PDF writer also, it looks just like a printer driver...
