[R-390] Thank you

Hey Barry and Greg and the gang;

Well there are conversion programs, and then there are other conversion
programs. Some are much better than others.

My favorite way to generate pdf's is to use something called OpenOffice.
It is available for Macs, Unix, Linux, and of course Win32.

I usually just import stuff into OpenOffice by either a direct import or a
cut and paste or a "open" file dialog. Then I do the export OR save to
whatever format I want. In this case pdf.
