I can only tell you what happens on a Macintosh, which is
that the dialog you get when you tell it to print has
a set of three radio buttons under "Destination",
labelled "Printer", "File" and "PDF".  The "File" option
produces a Postscript file, while the "PDF" option
produces a pdf file (as you might guess).
