Hi,
Take a look to see if the file "cups-pdf" is available on SuSE's 
mirrors.  If not you may want to compile it yourself.  It's very handy, 
in that it lets you create a Virtual pdf printer you can just select 
from any printer dialog and print the document directly to a good pdf 
file.  Acroread can read the file most excellent as do the other pdf 
readers.

When setting it up, you want to choose Postscript as the brand & model 
of printer.  Makes printing to pdf very handy & easy from your 
programs.

have fun,
Lee
