Re: PDF Files

Well, if you like to program in PostScript... here is what I do:

1. Use the right tool to convert the pdf to ps. It seems different tools
give different results on different pdf's. I have had pdf's that would
not convert to anything I could use.

2. I load the ps file in vim and go to the bottom and begin adding my
code just before the "showpage" command (or whatever might be used to
cause actual printing to occur).

3. Hmmm... are you sure you want to hear more? It really gets ugly fast.
