Yep, the pdfwrite device does the job perfectly. Much better than Adobe's PDF
Writer, in fact, which for some strange reason couldn't embed the Symbol font
into the PDF, as a result of which Damien B. complained about lots of "???" in
the file that I sent him. Looks like you can't trust commercial software (and
it's not even MS this time ;)

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
