        Yes it is, just not from Adobe. On Windows you can use ghostview to convert
ps to pdf, (you can get ps output out of ANY program by installing a ps
printer driver, ie. an HP laserjet ps printer driver, and printing to file).
On other platforms there are other free options, I think the latest redhat
has pdf writing installed by default. TTYL
