[texworks] Latex->PS -> PDF

[Minh Duc Thai]

1. Creat a .bat file (e.g. dvipspdf.bat) with the following line:

@echo off
miktex-pdftex -synctex=1 -undump=latex %1 && dvips "%~dpn1.dvi" -o "%~
dpn1.ps" && ps2pdf "%~dpn1.ps"
2. Place the file created in 1) to the same folder of TeXworks or in the
<MiKTeX_installation_folder>\miktex\miktex\bin or even in the Windows
directory or anywhere listed in the ``Paths for TeX and related programs''
on the tab Typesetting in TeXworks Preferences page. (This step makes the
command available to TeXworks).

3. Define a new ``Processing tools'' (e.g. DVIPSPDF) on the tab Typesetting
in TeXworks Preferences page *with only one argument is $fullname*.

Please see two attachment files for details.
