Hi Herbert

I wanted to ask something for sometime and the script that you prepare
give me the opportunity. When you use ps2pdf, I think that you are using
the one from ghostscript (both windows and unix, gnu or alladin). This
ps2pdf uses version 1.2 of adobe-PDF, and usually it haves a lot of pdf
limitations. Since standard ghostcript have higher versions of ps2pdf,
usually I advice people around here /we use only linux) to use ps2pdf14
(Acrobat 5.0). For example, in your page dedicated to pictures and
hyperref: http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=Examples/misc#hyperref
you mention the need of using pst-pdf to get "a working PDF file". If
you use ps2pdf14 the example runs smoothly without the pst-pdf. 

Best wishes
Pedro
