This is a problem I have since being laid off and losing access to my work computer PC. I always did and still do my document creation on my MAC 7350/180 (OS 7.5.3) using various programs like Canvas, McDraw Pro and others. I could take schematics to my PC by formatting a floppy disk to "PC" on the mac, then open the file and use the print function to write it as a postscript file to disk. On my PC, I had Acrobat Distiller software which would take the PS files and convert them to PDF. I converted dozens of files this way.

Problem: that computer stayed where I worked before I got laid off. On my new PC, I am trying to convert the Mac PS files from that same old Mac 7350 to PDF but it refuses to do it.

I tried downloading Ghostscript to my PC and using it, but it doesn't work.

I tried using the converter on this site:

http://www.ps2pdf.com/convert.htm

but it doesn't work. It just keeps saying the files are bad, but they are not.

I had done this a million times with the acrobat distiller, why won't any of these converters work on my PC?

This PC is an emachine running XP. is there any trick to getting the Mac files to a recognizable form?

Why don't you create the PDF on the Mac? I remember using a "printer" in the OS 9 days that would simply save to a PDF file.

Found it: PrintToPDF 2.4.5 software download - Mac OS - VersionTracker

CutePDF on the PC is the defacto free tool for creating pdfs. It gets set up as a printer driver, so you just print the document to CutePDF and it will create a pdf, just the way it does in OS X.
