Hi All, This is likely to be viewed as being at the margins of acceptable for this list, but I've run into an issue that I can't find a way around. Specifically, I'm working with a Windows based co-author, who is also MS Word based. So far I've found that we get the best graphic quality using EPS graphic files created by R. The problem is that when I just use the standard way of getting a PDF of the Word document by saving the file as a PDF in the main print dialog, the resulting PDF has the grayed warning box indicating that the graphic can't be seen on screen. If I instead use the option to convert the PDF to PostScript, and then convert the resulting PostScript file back to PDF using Preview, I get the graphics the way they should be. I can see them on screen, and so can anyone else. I can print them on one of my PostScript printers, but when folks on Windows go to print these PDFs to a PCL printer the output is a string of Ss. I then tried taking the PS files and converting them to PDFs using ghostscript (ESP's OS X port of gs 7.07 available from Gimp-Print). This causes all the graphics to come through properly, but the text is gibberish. I did get what appears to be a clean conversion via CERN's document service (but in A4, which is a problem in Canada and the US).
Has anyone run into this problem and discovered the work-around that seems to be eluding me? Dan _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
