"Scotterpops Thank You"


          

Just got around to implementing your nifty directions for creating PDF files using GhostScript. Works like a charm and sure beats the price of Adobe Acrobat. Installed the postscript printer (HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS) and GS software 7.03 under WinXP Pro.

I owe you.

Actually I was just passing on what I read elsewhere.   Those weren't my destructions, so I can't take credit, but I will accept your thanks for passing on a good tip.   My pleasure, glad someone got some good use from it.

I've been fiddling with that printer a little more lately, and I've found it isn't very good with graphics, but it does work very well with text.

Scotter,

In a word all the PDfs I've created have excellent graphics. Don't forget this is a 'virtual' printer so load the most expensive laser printer (color too) that money can't buy. I simply changed the default 300 dpi setting to the max available and all the graphics print to file beautifully.

In the past hour or so I've experimented with a variety of files printing the pcnineoneone home page, word files with inserted images, jpg and gif files, a screen capture and even an excel file with an embedded map graphic. They all look great on opening with Acrobat Reader 5.0.

Now if I can just figure out how to create bookmarks?

Regards,

Gary

The reader is but not the full blown app needed to create pdf files from scratch. Very expensive.

Shucks!   I hadn't thought of changing the dpi setting.   Thanks for the tip.   Betcha that was the reason why some of my graphics were gooey.
