Postscript is always a pain, you can hardly expect it behave the same way. However I had more luck with PDFs. Usually PDF opens the same in all viewers.
Here is an example postscript file I fought with it for half a day. It displays differently in every viewer, and print wrongly from every viewer (including directly print using lp(1) of cups, which generates worst print). Here is how it expected to look like, look at the right side small thumbnail: http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/expected.png The screenshots of different viewer viewing it (file name is the viewers command line executable name) http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/gv.png http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/gimp.png http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/gs.png http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/evince.png And the original postscript file: http://realss.6600.org/broken.ps/test.ps In most of the time when I have trouble with postscript, the trouble is incorrect side (upside down, rotated etc) and incorrect bounding box / page orientation (landscape especially), both among the ps I generated or received. However I hardly remember any time I receive a PDF and it opens with such problems, in both xpdf and evince. What should I do to get a right "proff sheet style" output? The effort I spent on solving this doesn't worth, making it seems most efficient way is to layout pictures /manually/ in software like inkscape or OpenOffice Draw and print from there.
