I use ghostscript to make all my pdfs (via ps2pdf). Since ghostscript
runs the Linux printing engine, pretty much any "Print" command can
generate a pdf that way, but I usually just print to a file
(Postscript) and ps2pdf it.


pdf995 is a shell program for ghostscript.



How weird, seeing as it does not need one.
