That' what we need, if we want to make more formats available for submitting: people to do some conversion so that I don't fall under tons of work :)) . Still, if there are people knowing LaTeX and ready to do some conversions they are quite welcome :)) . I think also that the journal should be available in .ps format too, since by experience (of my tools), Postcript looks better than PDF (only in the case of the tools I have handy), and Ghostscript and Ghostview are free like Acrobat Reader (and available for all platforms too).
