Thanks for the hint! -t pdf -e resulting.pdf works perfectly ... if combined
with pdfcrop!
Yes, I used to create PDFs with one or two corners. My last approach was
%.pdf: %.fig:
awk '/^4/{$$6+=4; $$7=8; $$10=135; $$11=10000; $$13+=5; print $$0;}{print
$$0;}' $< |\
fig2dev -L pdf -F |\
pdfcrop - $@
%.fig: %.dia
dia -t fig -e $@ $<
which actually creates quite nice PDF files!
I haven't used the graphical export dialogue in a long time and the
documentation doesn't mention the pdf export capability.
Eps-builtin creates files no program can open, with an error message I don't
(care to) understand, eps and eps-pango both convert text to path.
On the missing documentation, there is even a bug report, with a few attached
patches ...
