We're using Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Unix (Linux/Solaris). I've written a little wrapper class that calls "acroread -toPostScript......" (as a filter). For us, that's clearly an temporary solution until we can invest some more time in the PostScript renderer especially, since Acrobat takes up about 40% of the whole processing time of a single document. No ideas on the figures with GhostScript. I'm only using it as a viewer.

Good luck!
