Ghostscript is one of the first solutions which occurred to me. I found a
HOWTO, but it was too complex to give to my associate to follow.
And I found an article written about ten years ago which discussed the
problem of getting high-quality output when converting Postscript; much
depends upon the fonts used (scalable versus bit-mapped). The discussion
was a bit deep, and, all things considered, it appeared to me that PDF
might be a better solution for my associate. Also, most people know how
to read a PDF document, but may have difficulty sending a Postscript
document to the virtual Ghostscript printer; I myself am not sure how it
is done in Windows.
