Thanks, I was wondering if it was issue worthy or not. I didn't know if it was something that could be fixed. I may go ahead and try to patch qvm-convert-pdf then (if I have a free day or two) seems like it should be relatively easy (with the information you gave me). I feel I would just add the option to specify the resolution via a -r flag (or as part of the arguments), and still allow just the pdf for backwards compatability. -- Respectfully, Sam Hentschel FD6A 2998 5301 B440 D26B 7040 69D1 CE58 6FA5 BB5A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
