    Is it possible to convert a .dra file to a .pdf file with some (free)
    application?

    Does it use ghostscript to do the convert?

    You download two programs, pdf995 and ps2pdf995, i guess the second program
    converts the printer postscriptfile to pdf.

    CutePDF Writer is freeware without pop-ups or watermarks. It uses the
    Ghostscript converter but saves you a few steps. If you don't have
    Ghostscript installed it gives you the option to download and install.

    I've never used CutePDF personally, but I seen good comments.

    At work I use PDF Factory ($).

    At home I use a dummy PS printer to "print" a PS file, then use
    Ghostscript to convert to PDF. If I made a lot of PDF files at home
    I'd probably go ahead and get CutePDF.
