Subject: [TeX-Music] Making PostScript files with a virtual PostScript printer,
.pdf
I often convert .doc, .ppt, .xls etc. files to PostScript with the
method
described here:
http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/Pdf_scores_HOWTO.php
i.e. installing a IBM 4039 LaserPrinter I'll never buy, and
printing into a file.
For usual WIMA contributors this is only a step to produce a .pdf
score, but sometimes, I have a .pdf document open with Acrobat
Reader, and I want to produce the .ps of a single page to include
it into a LaTeX document with \epsfig. So I start printing this
page with this IBM 4039 printer, I check the box 'Print into a
file', and when I say OK, the usual box asking me the output file
name doesn't show up! Nothing else happens!
Is there anything wrong between this PS printer and Acrobat
Reader? In another PS printer better?
if I understand your problem correctly, all you really want is a
method to cut a few pages (actually: a single page) from a .ps
file, producing a new .ps file, which you then can convert to an
.eps file, e.g. for use in a LaTeX document.
I find that this is quite easy with gsview [the
ghostgum\gsview32.exe version, to be exact]. Just load gsview with
your .ps file, use the "file -> extract" button, and select your
desired page(s) . After the "OK" button, you will get a window for
choosing a name for your new (extracted) .ps file and the desired
folder in which to store it.
After that, again with gsview, you let it make an .eps file
from the .ps file, and you're done.
(Conveniently, gsview will warn you that the .ps --> .eps
conversion will work properly only with 1-page files.
But that is not news ...)
Hope this is what you wanted.
