Hi,

I do not know and VMS way, but I know how to do this in Windows. Copy you text data to microsoft word file. Then open the print dialog box ( file ---> print... ) . Then choose the option "print to file" . Press OK , and it will create a ps file for you. Then you can convert this ps file to pdf file using the following link.

If you can set up a print symbiont that generates postcript files, you can convert those to PDF using ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com/). If your needs are extremely simple, try the attached program in C, which I found on the net and modified slightly to work better on VMS.
