I have tried now for hours to generate postscript or pdf files and be very frustrated. I use Mathematica 3.0.1.1x on Windows NT4.0 What I have tried: 1. Generating a Postscript file with Display["file.ps",out[#]]. - Result: the postscript file is not an Adobe postscript file and can't be printed. 2. I did the same on a SUN and used psfix to make a Adobe postscript file. - Result: (m/s) became Hm hL and (ASK-23) with Helvetica font became HASK-23L where H and L are in default font. -Why the hell is the psfix file provided with the Windows version not an exe file? 3. I went back to my NT machine and made a PDF file with Display["file.pdf",out[#],"PDF"]. - Result: Opening the file in Acrobat Reader 3.0 gives the warning "The font 'Math2Mono' contains a bad/BBox". -The rest is fine. OK I will live with it. 4. Now I would like to get the plot in landscape format. The command is Display["file.pdf",out[#],"PDF",ImageRotated->True]. -Don't look at the result. You won't be able to read anything. I'm sure to be not the first one with such troubles. How did you overcome them? ---------------------------------------------------------------- PETER NYFFELER, ETH-Zuerich, Physical-Chemistry peny at phys.chem.ethz.ch, http://www.chem.ethz.ch/~peny ---------------------------------------------------------------- member of Soaring Club Zuerich <http://www.chem.ethz.ch/~peny/SGZ/SGZ.html> and Control-Line Modell enthusiast <http://www.chem.ethz.ch/~peny/CL>
