Once again, Linux to the rescue.  Adobe doesn't own the PDF format, so
there are other programs you can use to create PDF files.  Ghostscript is
one such beast, and it's free!  Take any postscript file... voila! instant
PDF.  So, worst case scenario, whoever creates the brochure may have
to install a postscript printer driver, do a print-to-file and send me the
resultant file.  Best case scenario, they have the PDF distiller and can
do it themselves. :)
