Hi

Why if i open this file (vince.pdf) with acrobat reader 7  it's ok and
not with Preview or Texshop ( Mac Os X) ?

With the new pdftriks file, if i compile the sources that's ok but it's
not an  explanation !

Why use Pdftricks and Pdflatex rather than Pstricks and Tex +dvips
because according to the documentation of Herbert (NewPdftricks.pdf) the
way used by pdftricks is the sequence  :  latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf13 ->
pdfcrop. In both cases there is  latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf13  !


Thanks
