Hi,
Is there any software that will create a PDF on OpenBSD?

Yes.

What are you trying to do? You might want to 'make search key=pdf' in
/usr/ports.

Hi,

try to use TeX which allow you to create very nice documents in many
formats. If you don't want to study TeX you can use LyX which (as I
know) provide GUI where you can create your documents and output is TeX
-> one of output formats can be PDF.

Alternatively there is "Export to PDF" function in OpenOffice...

Thanks for the suggestions. Think I'm going to set up a webserver
(internal lan) where people can submit docs through a form and receive
a pdf back. Hmmm, that sure sounds good. Now for the practical....

Thanks again

Yes. kdeprint can export to pdf. ghostscript can convert postscript to pdf,
TeX can produce pdf. scribus can create pdf files...

Can't tell you more without more info from your side.

I don't know in which language you are writing this application but
you probably need a PDF library rather than "end user sw"..

There are some projects like pyTeX, reportlab (for Python),
iText (Java, C#), or if you write it in PHP you should see these links:
