OT- PDF Printer For Unix - Aix

Unix Guru's help required

I am after a free PDF printer for Unix ( Aix 6.1 ) preferably one that would work as a printer que ( ie that we could just lpr to ) and it would create us a PDF in return.

Not sure there is one so I am open to sugestions of ones we would need to pay for.

Many thanks

Ghostscript?

Regards
Rob

Edited as a quick search reveals some clever chaps have done an "acrobat distiller" type GUI front end for ghostscript
Not sure if ii will compile etc under aix, but worth a shot?

I've used cups-pdf in the past, comes as standard in ubuntu. The only trouble i've had with it is getting odd page layout issues (like it outputting upside down all the time).

OpenOffice has very good PDF export functionality built in, I use it all the time.
