I would never have thought to use ps2ascii on a pdf. Thanks, it did the trick. As for ps2ps, I have had to use this a lot because not all ps files are equal. Sometimes, the ps output of certain apps (lyx does it the right way, a lot of other wordprocessors or graphics apps screw it up) do not display properly or are not properly formatted. Running ps2ps often corrects it, just eps2eps will often correct improper formatting (from kontour, for instance). Basically, both ps2ps and eps2eps simplifies the file making it cleaner, smaller, and faster. praedor
