Sheff -

I'm using Dell laptop with a 1.2 GHz Pentium III chip running Windows XP Pro. I think that one difference in your process to create PDF files and my process is that your tools all create a Postscript file first (I think that pdf995 does that as well). If I correctly understand the way pdfFactory works, it does not create a postscript file, but rather generates the PDF as a native windows printer driver.
