Saioa:
PDF is easily generated from TeX as noted above (try `LyX' to generate
`LaTeX or TeX' as it is much easier to use), but also easily
generated from any PostScript document. To send `plain text' to PDF,
try the following:
mpage -1 plain-text.file > /tmp/a.ps # convert to PostScript
ps2pdf /tmp/a.ps /tmp/a.pdf # convert to PDF
An alternative to `mpage' is `a2ps'. `ps2pdf' comes with the
ghostscript package `gs'. The companion program `gv' displays both
PostScript and PDF files.
Good printing...
