Convert DHW files to PDF format

The program converts files from DHW format (ACECAD Digimemo) to PDF format directly. The tool is not foolproof, so any inappropriate parameters or non-".dhw" file selections can crash the program. Tested on Mac OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04 with Java 1.6 (Sun Microsystems Inc.). The tool was build on a basis of the existing dhw2ps converter and the free Java library for PDF manipulation iText and tested using Digimemo A402 (A4 paper format) and should work with A502 as well.
