I've had not too bad results with the dvipdfm utility. The printing
result of these pdf files seem to be as good as that from the postscript
files and even the screen display is acceptable if you use the latest
release 4 of the acrobat reader. You won't however, get files smaller
than the postscript files. Have a look at my entries in the Ravenscroft
section of the 'Choral Public Domain Library'
(http://www.cpdl.org/composers/ravenscr.htm).
