There is a shareware utility (I believe that you can find it at sumex-aim)
called PocketBookMaker that will do this for you from the postscript file
that you generate with a cmd-F sequence in the print dialog of your
application or through the "To Disk" checkbox, if you have used one of the
utilities that makes it visible.  It works quite well and has the advantage
of letting you use whichever program you happen to like to generate the
output (except something like MPW that doesn't go through the print dialogs).
