I use Adobe Acrobat. Expensive, there are a lot cheaper. Just do a search in Google.

Alternatively, email it to me and I'll convert it for you

There used to be a thing on the adobe website (don't know if its still there) where you could get a few online conversions of .ps to .pdf for free.

Thumbs up

I've got a pdf printer driver - sets up a virtual printer, and any app can print out to it, creating a PDF with the output.

It's about 2Mb, I think. Mail me if you want a copy.

On a PC, GSView can convert ps files to pdf.

In my limited experience I have found it a bit hit and miss for creating pdf files. In one case it did a better job than acrobat distiller, it correctly managed some math charaters in a file created from MSword. In another it did a bad job, produced a bit map version of a document prepared in latex.

GS view can be obtained from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/ and you can use it without any payment.

The latest Corel Wordperfect will save as pdf IIRC.
Also it'll do doc files for Office 97/2000.
