Question Writing to pdf in Unix?

Is there an easy way to print to a pdf file in Unix? Now I'm using lpr command to print to a network printer [post script], but I need to have a pdf version of the file as well! Can someone help me?

Hi,

I don't know what environment are you using, but you can try to print to a file... if you can't print directly to pdf, print to ps then use the ps2pdf utility to convert the postscript file to pdf...

If you are a perl programmer, there is a module called txt2pdf from sanface.

You can convert text to pdf. The source code is free.
