You can use Adobe Acrobat to do this.

Alternatively you can use GhostScript and GSView, which I believe is either
shareware or freeware. With this method:

1. Print the document to a file using a postscript driver (e.g. Apple
LaserWriter)
2. Open the printed file in GhostScript
3. Print from GhostScript to pdf format

It really is quite simple.

The following is from the GSView 'readme':

The latest version of GSview should be available from
ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/rjl/gsview*.zip
or by mail (see next section) on a CD-ROM.

A World Wide Web home page for Ghostscript, Ghostview and GSview is at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
