Are you ftp'ing the file as an ascii or binary file? It should be binary, I believe.

I think you neeed the following tools to convert your file to pdf format in unix.

Follow the instructions

To convert to pdf format without any specified options:

ps2pdf paper.ps paper.pdf
where paper.ps is the input file and paper.pdf is the output file

You may want to specify options such as embedding fonts, so all users can view your file:

ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true

The command, ps2pdf is part of Alladin's Ghostscript program.
