Be careful about fonts though, or you may end up with a PDF file that looks fine viewed in, say, ghostview but is ugly (or even blank) in Acrobat/Windows (well, they've been doing it to us long enough ...). Any of the adobe font family should give you good clean results. A good way to find out command-line tricks is using the tab key. Type the format you want to convert from, hit tab, and you'll get a list of likely converters; e.g., "ps -> tab" will get you ps2pdf, ps2ascii, ps2png andso on. If you have the pstricks package installed, you can find some fun stuff here. BTW, you can specify the compatibility level of the PDF file. If you're sure your readers have Adobe Acrobat 4+ or the equivalent, you can use ps2pdf13, though I've never bothered with it.
