pdftex, is program that makes (La)TeX output PDF files instead
    of the standard DVI. It's still in Beta though, but will probably
    be included in the next teTeX-release (which Debian now uses).
    Pictures are troublesome, except PNG's and JPEG's which are
    easily included.
ghostscript, can convert postscript to PDF. However, it outputs
    everyting as a bitmap, which makes it practically unusable.

Adobe Acrobat is not available for Linux, though it is available for
    other unices. Maybe you can run it under some sort of binary
    compatibility package?

I propose that you at least write a complaint letter to Adobe
for neglecting to port Acrobat to Linux (after all, the *have*
ported Acrobat Reader, so there should be no problems for them).
