Angus et al.:
I solved the problem by avoiding it.
I used ipe to recreate the problem figure originally drawn in xfig and
saved in .eps format. Ipe uses .eps as its native format (or .pdf if you're
producing a slide show) and the figure prints properly.
Used the File > Print > DVI output, then ran dvips to get the postscript
file, then ps2pdf for the .pdf file. However, ...
With xpdf I can page through from the cover to the last page (49 so far).
With acroread-5.0.8 (freshly upgraded from -5.0.6) I can page through until
the blank page immediately following the page for a new Part. The error
message is that the page has the wrong object type.
Clicking on the "OK" button clears the error box and lets me page to the
first page of the Chapter that begins that Part. I can then page backwards
to the Part page, forward again and the error does not appear.
What could be going on here? It is an issue because I'm sending review
drafts to folks who run on Microsoft systems. They use Adobe Acrobat Reader
for winduhs and it won't print for them. This is, of course, rather
frustrating to me.
Also, would the person who recommended ipe on the list yesterday please
contact me directly? I have some questions not answered in the manual and
there's no activity on the mail list.
Thanks all,
