pdf2ps (uses ghostscript) pdftops (uses xpdf code) i've had better luck with images using pdftops, but i haven't really tested the newer ghostscript (which apparently has *much* better pdf handling than previously). avoid type3 fonts, acrobat renders them amazingly poorly (still in v5?). microsoft word (for example) likes creating pdfs with type3. in acroread, look at File -> Document Info -> Fonts or something. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
