Bill is right here, but from what Valerie is saying it sounds like she has the full version of Acrobat, which can be had for the low price of $249.

You can indeed do that for free, so I don't know why anyone would spend the $249! To get a copy of Ghostscript for most platforms, including Windows and Unix, go to <https://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>. > This is for a PC, I don't know how to do it on a Mac. You can get the Mac version at <https://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/mac/>. According to the online menu, you just load in your file and then chose "ps2pdf" from the "Ghostscript" menu. -- -Angus B.
