You could open it up in vi and guess about what's going on, or you could learn the postscript language. (: Otherwise, there's inkscape and scribus that will write to PDF. I don't know what's so hard about reading in PDF files if you can write out to them. Good luck. Justin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
