I posted this to another list to help transfer scematic info ,

For anyone interested,

This is how I create PDF files

1) Create the document in whatever program you can print out on in windows
i.e.: Corel Draw, PageMaker, Illustrator, PhotoShop. PDF really shows its
strength when dealing with structured drawing programs. Like a schematic
layout or even PCB layout program.

2) You need to install a printer driver from a generic HP PostScript
printer, I use the one from the win95 install disks, but there are others
available online as well. 1. Goto control panel 2. Printers 3. Add printer
4. Select Post Script Printer.  5. Select "Print to File"
3) Goto www.ghostscript.com and download both ghost script, and ghost view
you will only be using ghost view, but it is merely a GUI to ghostScript.

4) After the printer driver is working correctly, choose print setup in the
program you used to create the file. Choose the PostScript printer. It will
ask for you to give it a file name, anyname.ps is the format you type in.

5) Open the document you just saved in GhostView, now choose, Print, then
choose print to file, and pdfwrite. You will have to name the file
"anyname.pdf"

6) to check your work you can open that file you printed to pdfwrite in
acrobats reader
