Ya know, it's funny - I just came across this site today ...
http://over.to/freepdf - a free Windows way to make PDFs (using the
free GS as an intermediate step).
It adds a printer entry to Windows, to printout PS files, and then
automatically pipes them thru GhostScript, to make a PDF.
Where did your PS file come from? Something you made yourself, via
the print driver trick, like the above does?
