re: mi to pdf

Unless you only want to create small sized PDF pages (max ISO A3/ANSI B) you are fighting a losing battle on the Unix platform. By far the best environment for generating PDF files is Windows (W98, ME, XP, NT, 2000). If your Unix machine is linked to a PC in a network then the PDF solution you decide to use can create PDF files which are accessible on your Unix machines.

re: mi to pdf

Hi Mike, it isn't so, that you are fighting a losing battle on ux platform, how it is suggested from darren. We are generating pdf's from all of our drawings, which are modified the day in a batch out of WM in the original paper-sizes (A4-A0) over UX together with a running Distiller on a PC. To get the right sizes it is necessary to modify the postscript-files before they are moved to the IN-folder for the Distiller. We do this with a little awk-script for every size to set the right papersizes. the files you get on this way are so good, that it is possible to print an A0-size scaled to A3-size and you can read everything because the linewidth are scaled together, an because you have vectors, nothing is lost. You allways get the thinnest line the printer is able to print.
