I'm trying to use Adobe Reader to convert generated PDF files to PostScript for printing. This would be done in batch on a Unix system with no real display. cat sample.pdf | /usr/local/Acrobat7/bin/acroread -toPostScript -level2 All I get is this error: (acroread:21109): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Is there any way to do this without a display? -- David F.
