http://www.unix.com – Hi All, I have a requirement, where i have create a pdf file in unix. I have gone through few links and understood that it could be done in 2 step manner. - Create a .ps PostScript file. - Pass .ps file to p2pdf command to create the pdf. But i am having trouble creating the .ps file. I have learned that a2ps is the command to create it. But in my setup, the shell does nt recognize the a2ps command, but it does have a man page. Not sure what i am missing here, can someone please let me know what the problem is? Also is there a better way to create a pdf file in unix. Than (HowTos)
