You can also go to www.ps2pdf.com for converting PS-files to PDF-
files. This site is based on AFPL Ghostscript, running in the
background when one submit a PS-file. You get the result directly on
the site, as a downloadable PDF-file.

Then it also exists two shareware programs that makes directly PDF-
files out of the print-command in whichever program you use (just as
Acrobat Writer do). They cost circa 50-60 dollars. The programs are
DocuCom PDF Driver and FinePrint pdfFactory.
