Good question - on Mac you don't think about this - you just save your print previews as pdf files and that's it. On Linux I use ps2pdf to generate pdf files. ps2pdf also runs on Mac OS X, but is probably not the code used by Apple. Lars.

[OT] All Macintoshes ship with a PDF writer. This is news to me. Since which model? What's the name of the app? Well, since you asked, every Macintosh model ships with Mac OS X preinstalled. In Mac OS X's Print dialog, you can click the Preview button and then click Save As PDF. And of course, if you're sending mail to another Macintosh, you can just drag a PDF file onto your email, and send an embedded PDF image. If you're sending to a Windows user, you need to send the PDF file as an attachment, and then tell the recipient how to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. He'll probably tell you to go to hell and ask why you didn't just send a Word document along with any embedded image files and required font files. Dave
