In the postscript tab, choose "ADSC for portability" as opposed to "Optimize for speed", the default. Then, after the postscript file is produced, remove the first few lines until the first line in the document starts with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 Then remove the last few lines until the last line is %%EOF Only then you have a true postscript document. These are easy to convert to pdf using ps2pdf. By the way, this script comes with Ghostscript, not Ghostview; Ghostview is just a graphics front end for Ghostscript. carlos. carlos. -------------------------------------------------------------- Carlos E.
