I was about to ask why you didn't use the printer drivers, together with PrintPDF if you wish, but, when I tried it for myself I discovered an oddity. The document with which I chose to experiment is a letter, intended for printing on A4 paper in portrait orientation, the first page containing five text frames, the second a single picture frame. The "picture" started life as a scanned, A5 (portrait) order form, which was then loaded, as a Sprite, into Draw, text was added, all the various objects then grouped, and the entire thing rotated through ninety degrees, so that Ovation sees it as a A5 landscape picture filling the top half of an A4 portrait page. If I "print" it via the PostScript printer driver, and examine the resulting file with !GView, I see exactly what I expect, and exactly what OPro gives me when I print it on my LaserJet printer, but if I then convert the PostScript file to PDF with *ps2pdf the second page is displayed by !PDF as a landscape A4 page, the right-hand half of which is occupied by a portrait A5 picture frame. Printing it on the LJ printer from !PDF results in a portrait A5 frame half way down, but on the extreme RH edge of, my A4 portrait page. The results are the same whether I create the PDF file manually, or via PrintPDF. I doubt if there's anything I can do in OPro to make the PDF file appear as I would wish, but maybe one of the experts hereabouts can tell me what mistake I've made in setting up GhostScript 8.54. Here's the command that does the conversion - */<GhostScript$Dir>.gs -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=RAM::RamDisc0.$.00000001/pdf -c .setpdfwrite -f RAM::RamDisc0.$.00000001 Chris To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
