  This may not necessarily apply to Your problem, as I use teTeX (for Unix),
but anyway. If You write LaTeX 2e, convert it using pdflatex, which should
be awailable in any decent TeX distribution. However, there are some tricks:
  1. LaTeX fonts are bitmapped and they are poorly supported by Acrobat Reader;
     You should use \usepackage{times} in the document preamble, which
     switches to Type 1 (Adobe) Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbol.
     These ones are vector fonts which are built into any acroread
     distribution, and therefore give fast output and smooth (antialiased) look.
  2. Another LaTeX package: \usepackage{hyperref} adds automatically
     hyperreferences to the pdf document (to TOC entries, footnotes etc. and
     to Yours explicit \ref{}'s)
