Yes. You can use pdf(la)tex which produces PDF directly (http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/), and dvipdfm, which uses the normal DVI output (http://odo.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/). Another free route goes through DVI-->PS-->PDF with dvips and ps2pdf (from the Ghostscript distribution). The non-free route is using Distiller on the PS (Distiller is not available for Linux). All of these approaches have certain (minor) drawbacks (but they may well not be relevant to you). > by commonly available PDF readers? I run TeXLive, up to date, so My Yup. (Aside from a few bugs in the readers. Even Adobe doesn't always conform to its own spec). You'll probably get better advise on e.g. comp.text.tex if you have specific problems. HTH, Colin
