This is what I tried to do right at the beginning (eventually going 
through pdf -> ps conversion would be fine). However I couldn't find 
such options in ghostscript. What are them?

Using KDE, I tried its internal viewer and kpdf. Then xpdf, kpdftools 
and others, but none of them, AFAICT, could zoom.
I tried acroread7: it seems to have the knobs to do what I want, but 
they do not seem to work...

Which viewer do you suggest?



  bye & Thanks
