For a TeX-based workflow, metapost is worth considering. Metapost PS files are already "flattened" and can be translated to PDF without the need for a full PS interpreter. Hans Hagen has written TeX macros to handle this. His "Metafun" manual gives lots of examples (using ConTeXt). It is also worth noting that PDF pages are essentially Illustrator, so in principle you could write a macro package to handle Illustrator PS files. -- George White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Halifax, Nova Scotia
