Yes, indeed! Thanks.

I'm guessing that
grep '^\.ds'
might be the intent.
Cheers, Ralph.

So, you're assuming that just one preliminary pass is sufficient to

And therein lies your problem: simply naming the file "foo.pdf" does not
magically make it a PDF file; it remains an improperly named PS file,

Hi Ralph,

The file I sended was make with
groff -me -k -t foo > foo.pdf
but I got a very good solution with
ps2pdf foo.ps

I've found that using ps2pdf14 will produce pdfs that everyone can open. I
create a postscript doc with groff then convert to pdf with ps2pdf14.
groff -ms -t -Tps myfile.roff >myfile.ps
ps2pdf14 myfile.ps

Yes. It's a terrible idea.
Convert is ImageMagick, a pixel-oriented set of tools.
It converts your PS or PDF

For normal stuff, including plenty of eqn, pic and PSPIC, I get by with
a mere
ps2pdf file.ps
I'm glad to get the more elaborate recipe in

That's ImageMagick, which I always find poorly documented. It uses
Ghostscript behind the scenes so Ghostscript's ps2pdf(1) would let you
tinker with the op

I found myself a way out:
with the convert command you can turn a .pdf to a .pdf
convert foo.pdf foo1.pdf
You can read foo1 with adobe reader.
Well, the text ist not very sharp, an not very nice to read.
But it's better than nothing.

Hi groffies,
I wrote a text with groff, converted it to a pdf.
I wanted to send it as a mail attachement to my sister, who works with a
Windows system as many people do. She couldn't open it.
Is a .pdf not like a .pdf?
Thanks
