I have been using ps2pdf13 for a little while now to convert man pages to pdf format, and I have never had one not load in Acrobat Reader.

It worked like a charm: the doc that I could not convert to Adobe's liking using either Abiword or OpenOffice displays just fine after converting to .ps and then to .pdf using the utility you mentioned. Thanks so much for your input. This will be a very helpful application for me.
