PDF is the recommended format for sending documents (that do not need to be modified by the addressee) over the Internet. The standard program for creating PDF files - Adobe Acrobat - is not installed on our PCs. Instead, there exists a program to convert PostScript to PDF.

Therefore the first step is to get a PS version of your document. This can be done by "printing" to a file. Since all our printers are PostScript printers, the printer drivers produce PS output that needs only to be redirected to a file. Look at the application's print dialog for the corresponding option.

If you have a TeX file, after running TeX on it, you can convert the DVI file to PS using dvips. Alternatively you can try to run pdftex or pdflatex to obtain a PDF file directly.

To convert the PS file to PDF, use the command ps2pdf in Linux.
