Brenda,

I have printed pdf files with a non-postscript printer (Epson 740) for years on both Mac and Win. You first must convert your file to a *.ps file, then use the Distiller (from some Adobe program like PageMaker) to create a PDF file.

For Mac you need to download the Virtual PS printer. If you use OS 10 or later, look in the Help file for printing to a virtual ps printer. Easy instructions.

For Win you need to download the Adobe ps printer driver. Then when you go to print, select the PS printer, then check "print to file" which will create the *.ps file. In the Distiller (above) navigate to the new .ps file, click OK, which will create the .ps file as a .pdf file.
