I'm ashamed to admin that I did it on my windows machine :-o *hangs

I downloaded "Primo PDF" (
http://www.primopdf.com/ ) which is a free
PDF printer driver for windows. It creates a virtual printer, that when
you print something to it, creates a PDF and lets you save it. A
terrible solution I know, but like I said I was in quite a hurry and
didn't have time to do research on how to Do The Right Thing (Tm) :)
