FYI ghostscript v8.00++ (and naturally ghostview) doesn't render postscript/eps inside pdf by default, unless you set -dDOPS flag on command line or ghostsview config.
Reason for that is a security problem with postscript, which has file access to the client, who is interpreting the postscript file, like other programming languages. This will allow to embed postscript viruses into pdf documents invisible for the user. cu Torsten > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert P. J. Day [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Montag, 12.
