Hi folks,
Me again, with another (probably silly) question...
I have lots of ascii spoolfiles from printouts all in 66 line-per-page format,
and am trying to make pdf's of them for archiving.
I've found a2ps and ps2pdf quite good and fast, but a2ps seems to want to make
a minimum of 2 pages wide. i.e. I want a pdf page to be a single page of 66
lines by 80 columns.
I've used..
a2ps --no-header /
--lines-per-page=66 --chars-per-line=82 /
--output=test.ps /
spoolfile
then 'ps2pdf test.ps' to make a test.pdf
I've fiddled with all the options, but always seem to end up with a page which
has the right-half blank, with all my page squeezed onto the left half
What am I missing ? .. or... is there a better/easier way to make a pdf from
ascii spoolfiles ?
Thanks,
Declan
