can you load the pdf-file into some viewer, e.g. Acrobat Reader? >From there you might be able to print just the pages you want (the Unix-Version of Acrobat Reader automatically converts to PostScript when printing, so you could also save the output to a file, if you need to...) If that doesn't work, I would offer that you send me the first 1500 bytes of your PS-file that doesn't work (please not the whole file :-)) and I have a closer look at it. Then I might find out what the problem is, and whether we can fix the corrupted file manually. (preferably send it to me privately, not to the list) -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing gmbh -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! --
