Hmmm. I don't use pdftex; I've always used dvipdfm to generate such PDFs as I need. And this procedure results in a file with all ties missing both on screen and on paper. However, your mention of Ghostscript has just saved my bacon. I've now used dvips to generate a postscript file and then converted that to PDF in GSView, and lo and behold, all the ties are both visible and printable in Acrobat 5! Thank you, Christof. I urgently need to get this file back to the composer of the piece (who's never heard of TeX and can't use a DVI file), and it wouldn't have been much use with no ties anywhere in sight... As for ps2pdf, there appears to be no such animal in my MiKTeX installation; however, Ghostscript/GSView contains a few batch files called ps2pdf*.bat. Is this the thing you mean, or is there a separate TeX-related utility of the same name? If so, can you point me to a precompiled version of the same for Windows, please?
