Hello Patrick, Peter,..
The 3-step method doesn't work? I tried it over and over again. Changing the media size by hand does work if I guess the size of the picture (I don't have an option bb or bounding box). I think I can work with this method for the time being. Do you know if this bounding box problem is caused by the fact that I used Flash for making the picture? I mean, if I buy another vector drawing program (Adobe Illustrator for instance), the problem doesn't exist? Using MetaPost means that I must first learn the MP-programming language. I don't know if I have enough time for that. Or is there another way?
