No, you don't. My print system does that, and I don't have acrobat
installed. I have ghostscript installed, which includes pdf2ps - which
handles this particular translation.

Ok, I'm a masochist. When I have problems like this (i.e. - printing
CD labels, addressing envelopes, etc) I just have the python generate
raw postscript. That gives you more than enough control over the
output to solve the problem. Integrating it with a GUI is another
matter, though.
