I have a customer, that says she can't open a jpeg in gimp...ok right..but i'm not going to argue with her..she wants me to send as a adobe reader 9.3...is the a PDF? and how would I turn mine into that without having it that forever?

thanks guys

I use ghostview to convert ps files to PDFs Micki; should have ghostscript already in order to open ps/eps files in GIMP. Ghostview is a good companion to ghostscript (and it requires ghostscript too). Believe the went open source with ghostview and call it something else like GV, but not 100% sure.

Ok let me ask you this..when I save as...can I just put in pdf like I do when I put in jpeg and it work for her?

Short answer: no

Not sure if there is a PDF export plugin for GIMP. That's the reason I mentioned Ghostview. It makes Ghostscript user friendly and easy to create PDF files.

I would save as jpeg, insert it in a scribus document and export to pdf. If you've got scribus installed shouldn't take that long. A couple steps, but the quickest I see. And scribus is an excellent way to create pdf. Quality really good.

Also OpenOffice. Completely overlooked obvious editors and only mentioned the geek route. lol

OpenOffice 3.3 was just released the other day too. I have Office 2003, so haven't worked with OpenOffice since 2x.

Or if you are opposed to Oracle's mangling of the remnants of Sun since the takeover, there's also LibreOffice 3.3, which is the completely open-source non-Oracle fork from OpenOffice...Either of these will let you compose a document made of jpgs/pngs and export them as pdfs. I participate in a forum for people seeking owner's manuals for various pieces of household equipment and this is how I make my pdfs.
