[albatross-users] Broken PDF

[Michael C. Neel]

Thanks, I guess I'll have to track down reader v4.  I have converted the
ps to pdf, but the ps is not in the same format as the pdf it is in a
booklet form and I'd rather have it in normal form.

This is a known bug - the PDFs generated from the LaTex2 source viathe
Python macros
cause Adobe Acrobat Version 5 to fall over whne printing. I think the
PDF prints OK 
from Acrobat version 4. Not sure about GhostView etc. We worked around
this problem for 
another project by converting the PostScript to a PDF using the
commercial Acrobat
Distiller. I am happy to do this for you, guys, if you e-mail me the
PostScript at 
work.
