Yes. It's called Adobe PDF.

In Acrobat 5, you've got the Acrobat Distiller printer and optionally PDFWriter as well.
PDFWriter's handy for some things, and generally faster for basic printing like invoices
and the like. Distiller's the better choice for heavy duty graphics and some other uses.

Same as ever, print to The Name-Of-The-Month driver that prints directly to PDF, <g>.

Distiller Assistant in Acrobat 4 became Acrobat Distiller in Acrobat 5 became Adobe PDF in
Acrobat 6 and wonderofwonders didn't change names in Acrobat 7. I think.
