I'd suspect its downloading to the pdf, a fresh copy of the fonts for every page. I've seen a reference, way back up the log now, for a way to stop that behaviour, but NDI where I saw it. Long before I subbed to this list. I too take exception to haveing to traverse a rather lengthy directory tree for every file operation, that just plain sucks. What do you wanna bet that SO doesn't make you jump through those hoops? But that I don't know, my last SO was 5 (I think) or maybe 6, whatever was the last freely downloadable version years ago. Maybe thats one of the things that make SO worth the purchase? > 2. ps2pdf of a postscript file. PS is > generated by "print" "print to file".
