Is there something about the pdf files created by linux (I assume ghostscript is the actual prog creating the pdf file), that acrobat doesn't like? (ESP Ghostscript 7.05 (SuSE's version), SuSE 8.1, kde 3.1)
Using kprint is not the only way to create .pdf files. I usually prefer to print to file from the application, and then use the command "ps2pdf postcriptfile.ps" to do the conversion. Then you may use some switches to optimize for printer or display, for example (browse "file:///home/cer/doc/packages/ghostscript/doc/Ps2pdf.htm").
Thanks Carlos, I'll look at that (Ps2pdf.htm). Most of the ugliness I run into seems to occur when I'm creating a pdf from a web page viewed in konq. (I assume they are using fonts not on my system). Anything created on my system appears fine on my system. Also I'm usually quite happy just printing to a postscript file instead of pdf. But I'm still trying to learn what works most consistantly. Sounds like your suggestion may be a good solution for creating pdf's on the occasions I need them. See ya. -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
