You know, a2ps have been around for ages, which takes any normal ascii
text and gives you a postscript file. Very commonly used in all kind of
printing filters as well.
And, as you noted, going from ps to pdf can easily be done with various
tools, including ghostscript...

Years ago I needed to do something similar. What I did was to write a
simple shell script to turn my text into HTML, then run it through
html2ps, then run the resulting postscript through ghostscript to get
PDF. I recall that other than being a bit clunky, it worked really well
– and my text to HTML script could throw in some nice embellishments to
the resulting document.

Hi,
I am having fun with my virtual VAX. Thanks to SIMH, its a wonderfull
experience to have a VAX at home.
Now, I have a question.
Is there a way to print to a pdf ? like a script running in Linux (the
host) who intercepts the LPT output
and creates a pdf ?
