There are many PS to PDF converters that are a LOT less
expensive than Adobe Distiller. Some of them work well,
and some not so much. Distiller is VERY reliable, which
is why I use it. But, something else may work as well.

Have you tried using Dialog_PrinterSetup on your machine
to select a different output printer? I don't remember,
off-hand, how to set up a printer on a UNIX machine,
except that I remember it was a pain in the neck. :-)

Cheers,

David
