Here, Guide doesn't crash when I print to Adobe PDF (ver. 6), but the output
quality is also very poor, and the PDF file is overwhelmingly large (> 1.5
Mb).

Try to make a PS output first (Extras / Make PostScript file...). You can
then convert the PS to PDF using for example GSview/Ghostscript
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/). It works very well to convert PS to
PDF (File / Convert / Type=pdfwrite). The output file has a normal size
(~50-100 kb) and the quality is very good, except that the centering of the
map in the page is not correct.

The only thing I had to do before converting to PDF was to suppress the
command "style32" inserted by Guide8 into the PS (or comment it out with a %
character) because it causes an error for GSview and Distiller.

Subject: [guide-user] PDF woes


I'm trying to create "soft copies" of some charts, and have not had
much luck. When I try to print to Acrobat Distiller (5.x) Guide
crashes. If I print to pdf995, the output quality is fairly poor
(blocky small stars and striped larger stars).

Anyone here have another suggestion? I'm running Win XP.
