A similar method: make a Postscript file from an OvPro document on
RISCOS with !PS3 in !Printers, transfer it to an XP machine which has
PDFCreator (set in Windows as the application to open PS files) and a
recent version of Ghostscript installed, and simply double-click the
PS file there. PDFCreator does the rest in a fraction of the time
taken to convert PS to PDF with Ghostscript on RISCOS. This worked
well for me recently with a 170-page document: as it uses !PS3 there
should be no problem with any graphics. The result can be checked
quickly with Acrobat reader before the PDF is printed, either in
house, or by a commercial printer.
