I'm Justin Pence, one of the webmasters. Got a mail that I think should be forwarded to you guys. --------------------------- Subject: autoconf.ps format and printing problems Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2004 10:50:24 +0100 To: gnu@xxxxxxx, webmasters@xxxxxxxxxxx From: Roy Souther <roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I had a problem trying to print the autoconf.ps file but I was able to solved the problem before this email went out. You should think about fixing the file on the website. The ps file is formated for US letter but the content of it is in A4 format. When I open the dvi file with xgdvi I can print it to PDF then print to paper and it works. Original message: >From this page http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/autoconf.html I downloaded the autoconf.ps.gz file. It looks great in ghostview ggv and kghostview but every program and every OS that I try to print it from it will not print the top lines of the page. It comes out looking like the contents of the page was moved up to far like the top margin is zero or something. As a result the page numbers and docuement title are missing from the top of each page. I have tried Mandrake 10 & 10.1, Red Hat 9 and Debian and they all have this problem. I would very much like a pdf version so I tried to use the standard Linux pdf conversion tools but they error and create blank pdf files. What word processor was used to make the ps file? Was it generated from one of the other files on the web page? Is there a different version of the file somewhere else? It looks like the file was made from the dvi version. I have no idea how to do this but will look in to that shortly. I cannot find a contact for the authors of this file, David MacKenzie, BenElliston and Akim Demaille.
