Good morning.

I produce PDF files all the time. It's simple to do from Quark or any other 
desktop publishing program. You need to have the full Adobe software 
installed - what you need to do is:

1. print the Quark document to a postscript printer
2. distill the postscript file with Adobe Distiller (part of the full Adobe 
program)
3. proof the PDF file that is created

For the PowerPoint presentation:

1. you can output the PowerPoint presentation in HTML format
2. open the document in PowerPoint
3. click under File - Save as HTML
4. alternatively you could print the PowerPoint file to a postscript 
printer, distill it and create a PDF file

Hope that helps.

And, Suzanne - if you don't have the full Adobe 4 software - you'll most 
likely have to buy it.
