It # includes a ps2pdf script which does things automatically, or you can # use gs with command-line options to fine-tune it. Thanks... I'll look into that. # Usually I need to do the reverse: given a PDF file I convert it to PS # to take a printout... Most of the time (since I work in Windows at work) I take Visio network diagrams and other files types and create PDFs so that I can distribute a more portable format to co-workers. There are times that I generatea PS file on a BSD machine and then use Acrobat Distiller to generate PDFs :) -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
