I've seen a lot of suggestions about this one. I even think that creating PDF's on linux is much easier than using w2k, and it's free. Everything can be print to file as PS, then converted to PDF. > 2) I do a lot of work with network diagrams, etc. in Visio.

I am not sure if it can read visio files, but you might want to look at KIVIO. It's shipped with KOffice package, the office suit from KDE. Go to www.koffice.org, and click link to KIVIO, or go to http://www.thekompany.com/projects/kivio/ It's a flowcharting program. If you don't need to exchange your template files, you can just recreate the template in Kivio, and export the result file to PS/PDF for exchange.
