I noticed in a later email that you were able to get Adobe to do the
conversion.
If you need something available locally you might look at the
inforamtion I put together here:
http://camalott.com/~jtpolk/html.html
Look at the information and the link in the section labeled ''pdf from
your word processor''. This was the solution I used until I had enought
clients needing PDF files to justify purchasing the full Adobe product.
This is better than submitting to a service, since you can easily change
a document in your Word Processor (or anything actually) and what would
be output onto a printer into a PDF file without having to go to a
service on the web. I've found that the original Word Processor
documents usually need a few repeated tweaks before they come out good.
Ghostcript and Ghostview are free Open Source software, I believe
avialiable for Windows, UNIX, VMS, OS/2, Atari, Amiga, and Macintosh
platforms. (grin)
