So i do not even have FC3 available - i am typing this from an FC2 machine. To much data to do a full reinstall (and to "messed up" to do an upgrade - at least i think so... Don't want to risk anything of my data. Think i have to buy a DVD-burner or something...). But doing "pdf2ps" GURU-blah-rpmguide.pdf produced a ps, which showed the same problems in ggv (and an unreadable resolution). But as i mentioned - acroread (7.0?) parsed it just fine - but the printer did not (i do not know if it was cups or the printer - a HP LaserJet 4 Si (postscript printer from 1992) and another, quite new LaserJet. The setup was acroread -> kprinter -> local CUPS -> remote cups (-> windows server in case of the newer LaserJet) -> Printer (JetDirect)) Kyrre
