Hmmm … I had expected you were also RISCOS user. If you are, then there my be
other (free) software that will enable you to "convert" draw files to pdf.
David's DPScan solution only gives you a bitmap, or so I assume. If the
original is a vector image and you want to keep it as such (assuming draw
export from OPW leaves the file as vector), then you need something that will
convert .AFF files into a Windows-friendly vector format. FWIW, there is a free
piece of software called OakDraw (downloadable from
http://www.dialsolutions.com/oakdraw/index.html) which (it claims) will import
DRAW files and export SVG and WMF.
