Gents,

I need to convert a few big ps files to pdf, and I would like
to arrange them them in a easily readable form.
I've downloaded TN 5150, the pdfmark Reference Manual and was
looking for means to control the "look and feel" of the pdf
document. e.g.:

- how to describe the width of the bookmark pane,

- how to make the font size in the bookmark pane smaller,

- how to put tabs into bookmark strings to neatly align them,

- how to hide the menu and command bars,

- how to control the document pane for port/landscape pages, etc,

and could not find anything. I know how the thing would look right,
and I could spare the reader a lot of clicking, yet I can't
do this. Why? It is true that my settings could not be realized on
all screens, but couldn't Acrobat use the info given by the author
when it can, and turn to defaults only when it is not possible?

While at it, could I suggest to re-write this whole document by
someone who not only knows his stuff but also knows how to present
it to people other than his expert buddies (who don't need the
book anyway)?

Happy New Year Folks,

Miklos
