ePub is quite good at creating PDFs, but there are a couple of caveats:
</div>
<div>
1. It does not work on a remote Citrix desktop. (I suspect that it might have problems with others, but have no experience with them)
</div>
<div>
2. It *really* wants a modern system with lots of RAM (>8GB ) and drive space. It will work on lesser machines, but you might as well go see a movie while you are waiting.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Finally: It takes quite a while to get the stationery (templates) set up correctly, and there are problems with the stationery for one release not always working with another release (or update).
