[Mac OS X TeX] TeXShop PDF Printing

[Zachary Davis]

Wednesday, 30 January 2002


William,

I tried printing my document using Acrobat Reader, as Alessandro 
suggested, and for some reason that fixes my problems.  I do believe it 
could possibly be Apple's Preview.app problem.  I am interested in 
learning about Ghostscript, as I'm not certain what it is.  I haven't 
had a use for it in the past.  Without wasting too much of your time, is 
there somewhere you could direct me to look in order to learn more about 
Ghostscript?

Thanks,
