I've got some PS files ... ... The other possibility I've tried is pstops. The command
pstops 1:0@.7 infile.ps outfile.ps
reduces the scale of the printing by a factor of 0.7 (as it says on the box). But this is not what I want: I want to scale up by about 1.5, not scale down. However,
pstops 1:0@1.5 infile.ps outfile.ps
leaves the scale unchanged.
It depends on your particuilar "some PS files". Examples: A working example: echo foo | a2ps -1 -M A5 -o in.ps pstops 1:0@0.7 in.ps out-0.7.ps pstops 1:0@1.4 in.ps out-1.4.ps Now view them directly with "gs" to avoid any unwanted side effects from "smart" applications: gs in.ps gs out-0.7.ps gs out-1.4.ps (Finish with [Ctrl]+[C].) A non-working example: echo '100 100 100 200 rectstroke showpage' >in2.ps Here the missing BoundingBox and other DSC comments make it impossible for the psutils to change the size. I.e. the PostScript document must have appropriate DSC comments so that psutils can change them.
