got it to finally work.
1. install primoPDF
2. select "print to file" (directly printing to primoPDF produces a blank page)
3. save it as something.ps
4. ps2pdf something.ps something.pdf doesn't work - gives an error about the postscript being created from an encrypted file
so i opened something.ps in ghostscript and printed via primoPDF
now i can finally read a book i paid for in the first place *sigh
