Next message: Donovan, Harold: "[WinMac] Scripting shutdown while on UPS"
If you are printin from a Mac, print to a file instead of a printer. The
resultin postscript file will have all of the graphic commands encoded
within it. Acrobat Distiller can then create the PDF which can be opened by
the other machines.
