(Note: I'm aware of the pstrick workaround for pdfTeX, that will take some source code changes but, hey, whatever it takes to get a high quality pdf document).

Do you think it will give the high quality PDF output, comparable with ps->distiller->pdf? I know pdfTeX has lots of pdf-specific features, so may be I can get something which looks even better than pdf produced with distiller (?).

My second question is regarding the alternative way: converting dvi directly to pdf, with either dvi-to-pdf or may be I should just install the latest MiKTeX with pdfTeX. I'd like to hear from anyone who knows of the good quality converter. I've tried several freeware tools which work by installing a virtual pdf printer, and didn't like any of them. Since I don't have Acrobat Pro available all the time (only when I'm on university computing system), I'm looking for something close in quality to distiller, but less expensive, or may be even freeware. With gsview/ghostscript conversion is OK but worse than with distiller. Now if I can get a hold on Acrobat Pro, so I can use distiller to convert ps to pdf, this gives the superb result, no complains. Since I use lots of pstricks (so I have an embedded postscript inside dvi), that's the most simplest way for me. I still have an old MikTeX distribution (pre-pdfTeX), and my normal workflow is to convert tex to dvi to ps, which I print, but sometime I need to generate pdf, so I simply convert ps to pdf.
