[lug] PDF creator ..

[Todd Ruskell]

I have to admit that it doesn't fit the "works under linux" criteria, exactly, 
but you might try out pdfcreator:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
It just looks like a standard printer, but prints to a pdf file.  I've found 
it quite satisfactory in the windows world.
