You could do the same with Linux. Open the image file in pdf and print 
to file 'output.ps'. Then, run 'ps2pdf output.ps output.pdf'. I tested 
it and it works. Few problems though, ps2pdf assumes that ps is meant 
for standard paper size. So in the converted pdf file you get margins. 
This is not the case in the original ps file though.
