[CALUG] outputting PDF or PS from FOSS?

[Daniel Ivovich]

I believe that OpenOffice can save as a PDF.  The other option is to install
the cups-pdf printer and then you can print right to a PDF file.  I used
this with a2ps often to hand in assignments in school as it highlights code
and puts 2 pages on one sheet in a very nice layout.
