That website was a good start, however it is lacking information on the more finer points of PDF creation. I did a little more digging , and here is what I found; this website: http://www.texnik.de/hyperref/hyperref.phtml has a lot of nice details on PDF creation in general. Also, it is possible to change the default GS PDF creation behavior here; /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.01/lib/gs_pdfwr.ps Cheers! -- Dylan Beaudette Soils and Biogeochemistry Graduate Group University of California at Davis 530.754.7341 _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
