Converting to PDF Under Windoz

First you need to get your doc into Postscript (PS) format. One way is to print to file using any PS printer (I use the HP Color Laserjet 8550-PS). Of course you don’t need to have it!

Install Ghostscript and Ghostview.

Open a PS file with Ghostview to be able to make the initial configuration. Choose from the menu: File –> Convert.

Select:

Device: pdfwrite

Resolution: 720

Options: -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true

You’re set!
