[aclug-L] Re: PDFs?

[John Reinke <jmreinke@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you save something as Postscript, I believe you can then use Ghostscript
to convert it to PDF. I've not tried this with Ghostscript on Linux, but I
know other versions of Ghostscript can do this. There might be other
standalone Perl scripts that can convert ASCII Postscript files to PDF
(ps2pdf?), kinda like Adobe's Distiller does.
