I'm faced with a small conversion problem, and I am hoping that the Postscript experts here can help me. I routinely download technical documents from ftp servers in US Letter format. When I send these to european friends in countries that are standardized on the A4 page size, it causes real problems for them when they print the postscript file. The question is - short of re-specifying the output to A4 from a source document - how do I convert an existing postscript file that uses US Letter page format to A4? Is there any sequence of steps that they can take to lessen their problems? One idea: if there were some hack that could be made to the existing Postscript output to scale down the entire page image, then it could be made to fit on the A4 page. Any ideas on how to do this or other things to solve this problem? -- Will Estes Internet: westes@netcom.com

Just change the things specified at the top to go the other way (it goes from A4 to letter as posted). Jon snatched it too, so it'll probably be in the FAQ next time through as well. ab
