    I am trying to convert *.PS PostScript printer data files into *.PDF or another type so I can view them on-screen on more computers. I have the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, if anyone knows of a way to send the ps file to it in Windows... I used a BAT file COPY with the /b switch as directed here to print the file, but I don't think I can assign Acrobat PDFWriter to work as a DOS printer, which is needed for this to work.:confused Alternatively, if anyone knows of a free, small viewer or converter for *.PS PostScript files, preferably downloadable from MajorGeeks, that works on win98 or maybe XP, I would consider it. I've heard about Foxit Creator, but am not sure if it works on win98, and it's quite large for my 25kbps average dial-up connection.:( Any help will be appreciated.:)

    :) Great! Thanks! media-convert.com worked perfectly, and also solves several other problems I had!

    One question: Does anyone know if it can take a file in a zip, tar or other compressed file, and both uncompress and convert it? This is probably too cumbersome to implement, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

    P.S. I don't think PDF-Hammer supports .ps files, as it couldn't open the ones I tried, though media-convert.com had no trouble with them.
