One method is to "Add Printer" from the control panel, choosing the 
option to direct its output to "FILE:" instead of a printer or 
communications port. You can set it up using pretty much any PostScript 
driver, but you'll probably get the best results by using one configured 
for Distiller; you can download it from Adobe's website. Once the 
'virtual printer' has been installed you should be able to print to it 
from any application.
