There are at least two ways of doing tex --> pdf that cost no money. (You can also get Adobe distiller, but that costs actual money.) There is something called pdflatex, that I have not used but it comes free with the tex distribution from CTAN (it is essentially undocumented, so if you figure it out, I would like to know about how it works. A second, not entirely satisfactory is to use the ability of gsview to output pdf files. You choose print to disk and then you get a pdf file that can be read with the Adobe reader. It is common practice to put a link to the free download of the Adobe reader when you post a pdf file, but most users of the web probably have it by now. Michael Barr
