Hello Stig,

a simple and free solution is "ghostview". (Just like Peter also
suggested)

Just install a laser printer (HP LaserJet 4/4M) on your system (e.g. get
the driver from your windows cd) and print the schematic as a ps-file.

Now open this file in ghostview. You can save it as pdf, bmp, jpg and
many other formats.

You can get this programm for free. At the moment, I can't remember the
url, but try any serch engine...
