RE: Export a PDF file
I opened the file with a PDF and PS extension in Ghostview and it is fine (although the ouput is pretty rough looking considering the font was set as pslatex). But if I try to convert it to a pdf Ghostview crashes. I think you are right about it being a postscript file. Here is the start of the file. %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Pages: (atend) %%BoundingBox: 113 42 545 718 %%HiResBoundingBox: 113.10 42.30 545.00 717.60 %... %%Creator: GNU Ghostscript 550 (pswrite) %%CreationDate: 2001/11/12 23:15:57 %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit %%LanguageLevel: 2 %%EndComments %%BeginProlog I am going to have to try this again on my home linux box to see if I can repeat the process.

Re: Export a PDF file
Kent, It may be that your file is still postscript... change the file extention to .ps on your windows machine and try to view it with ghostview...

At what point in the translation process does this get in if you do the conversions manually? Andre' -- André Pönitz .. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Export a PDF file
I was just wondering what is the most consistent way to generate a PDF document that is 100% readable by someone using Windows and Adobe Acrobat? I find that it is hit and miss when I generate a PDF from within LyX. For instance I exported a document last night and find that I can only view it using Ghostview on my windows machine here at work. When I try to open the document in Acrobat I get the error "file does not start with %PDF-" Kent Kostuk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
