[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 1443006, member: 813"] If you want, skip this step. Instead, install the Apple Color Laserwriter 12/600 Postscript driver onto your computer. Go into the properties dialog and set the port to FILE: Print to the Apple printer driver and save to file. In Windows it will append .prn to to the file name. From the command line, switch directories to the location of the .prn file and run ps2pdf file.prn file.pdf. You may have to edit your path to include the ghostscript directory. Now, you may ask. Why should I go to all this trouble when there's the nice interface in ghostview? Simple, you can create a batch file with all of the standard things you want to set in all of your PDFs and not have to wander through the dialogs to set them. For example, one of my batch files (p2p.bat) contains this line: ps2pdf "-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen" "-dEmbedAllFonts#true" %2 %3 %4 %1.prn %1.pdf So I can just type: p2p name and get a screen version of the PDF. The ghostscript documentation lists all the settings. [/QUOTE]
