2. http://www.ps2pdf.com/convert/convert.htm - Free online web distiller coverts any Postscript file to a PDF.

To create a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, sometimes called an acrobat file on our web page requires several simple steps.

  1. Start to print your document to a Postscript printer.   If you don't already have a Postscript printer installed see below .
  2. When the printer dialog box pops up select the checkbox that says "print to file" and select a file name
  3. After the document is printed go to the Convert page and follow the instructions to upload the file.
  4. After the file is uploaded and converted on our servers you will have a link to the PDF file.
  5. To view the file you can simply select the link
  6. To save the file on your local hard drive right click (or hold the mouse button down on a Macintosh) and select "save as"

Even though you don't have a postscript compatible printer you can still make a postscript file.

Normally if you have a printer already attached to your system that "speaks" postscript all you have to do is check the box that says "print to file" after you print a document to the printer.  This will make a file that you can then use on ps2pdf.com to make a Portable Document File.

If you don't already have a postscript printer you can still install the postscript printer driver on your system as if you owned a printer.  When asked for the "device" that the printer is attached to just select "file".  Now when you print it will create a postscript file.
