Texutil
by Willi Egger 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Dear Hans, I am trying to convert a couple of EPS pictures into PDF files. Viewing those figures in gostview shows their content on screen as expected. Unfortunately the conversion with texutil results in some of the files in a rotation of 90 degrees. I tried to tweak texutil.pl with adding a line to the $GSCommandLine $GSCommandLine = "-q " . ... "-dAutoRotatePages=/None " . ... I also tried to put there ... "-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer " . ... But the figures remain rotated. - Do you have a clue how to prevent this? If you edit texutil.pl would you then have also look at the code line 2079: Report ( "PdfFile", "$FileName".".pdf" ) ; instead of Report ( "PdfFile", "$SuppliedFileName" ) ; Kind regards Willi

by Tobias Burnus 13 Jan '04

Hi, I have several equations. But for some of them (lengthy and uninteresting calculations) in the appendix the default fontsize is too big. What is the best way (command) to reduce their size consistently? Tobias

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable" If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long). Do you also have a clue for this?

Re: [xsl] Telling parser to ignore DTD
by Joerg Heinicke 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Hello Manny, we don't have a solution for this, we have the same problem. With a doctype-system, which Xalan can't find, Xalan throws an exception. It doesn't validate the XML against the DTD, but it MUST find it. Until now we solved the problem with an empty DTD-file at the place, where the file is searched. If you found a solution or anybody knows one, we would appreciate to get to know it. Regards, Jo

Hi, still searching for a working solution how to deal with my 757 footnotes I tried to avoid the error by using buffers. But again: ! Dimension too large. Is there really no way of emptying that "cache" - and maybe split it in footnote 1-350 and footnote 351-757?
