I didn't know I could do that... not even sure what approach to take.
Could it have anything to do with the "wingdings.ttf" font not existing on my Linux box?? Apparently those checkmarks and bullets are from that TTF set. On 8/10/06, Josh Vickery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm not familiar enough with the pdf format to be able to determine the cause of this, but my guess is that adobe is embedding font definitions in the document, and that's why the green checkmarks and bullets show up ok. This explanation is also consistent with the relative sizes of the two documents, "adobe.pdf" is more than twice the size of "smb_pdf.pdf". Have you checked the content of the postscript file before it is converted to pdf?
