Of course. And I want a pony. If your company isn't set up to work with PDF internally, you can expect to be disappointed with the results of "converting" PDF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software As for Cygwin, $ apropos pdf | wc -l 36 A Cygwin package search is available at , but you won't find anything specific to your needs.
