Well, that depends on what your source is.  If you start off with a
LaTeX document that first turns into a .dvi, dvipdfm is a good
conversion tool.  ps2pdf doesn't work all that well, IMHO, as output is
usually pretty blurry and chunky (at least on screen -- it probably
still prints nicely).  I think there is a pdflatex program, but I'm not
sure if that just uses another tool to convert..
