a Mac question

okay, i didn't find a thread with this question, but if there is one ((& i just didn't see it, let me know))

now to the question:
i have a G4 iBook ((OS 10.4.6)). I am looking for an program ((freeware would be AWESOME)) that will turn my .txt, .rtf, and .doc files into .pdf.

i have found two programs already. one of them is made just for Mac and works with the Automator, but i can't seen to get to do what it is supposed to do.

so i downloads a Bee product called Text to PDF.app, there is three problems with this program:
1: it doesn't not convert my page breaks ((so everything runs together))
2: it doesn't convert my fonts ((so everything comes out in Times, i hate Times))
3: all my pictures disappear.

is there any programs out there that you know of, that would convert everything, fonts, line/page breaks, and pitcures ((and that will work with my lovely Mac))


i downloaded OpenOffice.org. it works great, my pictures & my line/page breaks are there. but all of my fonts ((from pages, text edit, & word)) do not transfer over to OOo . . . . so there is a way, if you are not picky about yout fonts . . . i went from 87 fonts to about 20 & none of them are "cool."

the problem is: i am picky about fonts . . .


so the search continues
