so i did A4, landscape, and this is fine when i use psstill to rotatem
an d then use acroread
but gv still cut the right part (like it would be a portrait margin).
the text is in there, as u can see in portrait mode, the bottom part is
there. so ot seems to be a gv part.
am i the only one to have this issue (release of gv in M 7.2), or is it
a known issue ?
despite i have a workaround, im using a shareware (ie not OSS), and it s
a two steps process, so its not a long term solution.

just for archive purpose, here is what i had to do to get good pdf for
acroread:
with pstill : pstill -v -R 270 -i -s -F a4 -o Foils.pdf Foils.ps
-v : verbose
-R 270 : rotate 270, to have correct lanscape on the screen with
acroread.
-i -s : include the fonts in the pdf (i : non standard, s: standard)
(see later)
-F a4: out format. necessary to get propoer margin, cut otherwise.
note about fonts: once i installed psstill, i still had to modify the
linkallfnt script, which looks usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/* , when Mandrake
installs the T1 URW fonts in usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/*, and rerun
linkallfnt, (frank . for info)
then copy the (given) font_gscrpit_sub_table to font_sub_table.
to enable the urw equivalent of T1 standard fonts
cheers
for file in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/*
