Looking for a program...

Does anyone know of a program to convert postscript files to *.pdf files?

In a previous version of Adobe that I had installed on an older computer a "printer" was installed called Acrobat Distiller. What this item did was convert whatever I was sending to the printer to *.pdf files. So instead of converting word documents or excel spreadsheets (or other common formats) which Acrobat already does, the distiller would convert anything to a pdf document by using the postscript files. I know that newer version of Adobe can convert common formats to *.pdf but the custom design software I use is not capable of being converted (in fact, I cannot open the files using anything other than the custom software) and I can print them out but I cannot share the files electronically due to not everyone having the custom software.

So... I need to purchase a program that allows me to "print/create" *.pdf files for sharing and document backup for such a time that I cancel my current software contract and upgrade to better software.

I am not sure if newer versions of Adobe have this option...

I think there is a program called pdfcreator (free) which works like a print to create pdf.
If you google it you should get some more info. It may be the package they installed on pc's to run with our Navision installation so that people could print a file which actually creates a pdf of it.
