TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My experience with postscript files has been that most of them are set to print on A4 paper (used in Europe, I believe). If you use the Adobe Acrobat Distiller to convert the file, you may have problems if need to print on other paper sizes (I tried changing the paper size designation in Acrobat, but it didn't work for me). I've found that one way around this is to set your printer to "manual" and feed 81/2 X 11 paper in manually. I don't know if there are other solutions to this problem, or if it works with other paper sizes. If any one else has a quicker solution, I'd be glad to hear it.
Good luck!
