I have a licensed copy of DocuCom PDF, it's very

think it was around $30) and it acts like a Windoze printer. Just print to

pdf as. It has a

number of options and supports a few bells &

Somewhat OT:
A tidbit about Ghostscript and its port redirector: There are several
music services on the web that sell works for printing online by using a
custom program to do the printing. All of these programs as far as I know
do not allow printing to a file (i.e. if you select a printer on Windoze
that has its port output to a file, you're told that it isn't allowed).
However, the GS port redirector escapes detection, so when I purchase and
download a musical work, I have it preserved on my PC as a .PDF which can
be printed and used as a backup.
I don't know if there are any other "pay for print" services on the web,
but I suspect that there might be.
