This probably isn't a problem with the fink side of the tetex
distribution, but since we are discussing it, I thought I'd try asking
anyway. I can get perfectly good landscape ps output from my latex
document, but I can't get landscape pdf output from it.
I'm on all the latest 2.0-5 tetex, and ghostscript 8.0.
Here's what I'm doing, lets call my document Land.tex:
I'm making slides for a presentation, note the preamble starts
\documentclass[a4paper,landscape]{slides}
I run latex as usual: latex Land
To view it as a dvi, I use the flags
xdvi -paper a4r Land
To convert it to ps I use the flags
dvips -t landscape -o Land.ps Land
This works fine, viewed in gv it comes out upside down until you "swap
landscape" but that's not a problem.
But dvipdf and ps2pdf don't have a flag for landscape!
I tried using the paper size flags
-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=842 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=595
and that turns a4 the paper sideways OK, but does not put the images in
the right place on the paper (it is either off to the left with ps2pdf, or
starts off the top of the page with dvipdf). I'm viewing the pdf output
in gv. I've tried a bunch of other things too, and waded through a lot of
the gs docs, but nothing useful came out of it.
Feel free to tell me to shut up and go elsewhere if this is out of place
on this list...
Thanks in advance,
