How to Create a pdf File
Anastasia Aho 22 February 2006

• Step 1 Install Ghostscript and GSView
• Step 2 Install a file printer
• Step 3 Create your document in a word processor,
  such as Microsoft Word
• Step 4 Save your document (just in case). Go to
  File-Print and select your file printer.
• Step 5 Go to properties-Advanced. Expand the
  post script options and make sure the post script
  output option is set to EPS. Click Print.
• Step 6 Save your document as a post script file
  (.ps)
• Step 7 Open the post script file and make sure
  it looks how you expected it to
• Step 8 It it turns out correctly go to
  file-convert. Make sure the options say pdf
  write and select the lowest resolution. Click
  Okay.
• Step 9 Save the file as a .pdf file
• Step 10 Check the file to make sure it turned
  out correctly.
• I did not do this and spent approximately 9
  hours messing with my darn document because my
  pictures turned out in black and white.
