Does Word Perfect 2000 open and edit existing PDFs??? That would be
useful. As for creating, any program that spits-out PostScript (almost
all UNIX printing programs) can turn its output into PDF. There are
several utilities that mimic Adobe Distiller; I use ps2pdf (comes
standard with SuSE, and probably most other distros). I routinely make
PDFs from StarOffice via ps2pdf.
