GS will also convert .PS to .PDF

When I want to make a .PDF, I just set up an app to print to a .PS printer, then have the app print to a file. I feed that file into GhostScript (via GhostView) and convert it to a .PDF

But it does make sense that there should be an app out there that'll do it directly (text to .PDF). Thanks for the pointer to enscript.

Cheers,
Scott.

I think its a fine solution to the problem that you probably shouldn't have.
