Anybody know what app we can use to view a ps file? When I print to file, what can i use to view it?
I see that the program ps2pdf isn't available in the Fedora 8 repos. But that would be a hassle anyways, because you'd have to manually convert a PS to a PDF. You might be better just printing to a PDF file instead of a PS file. Then any PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat can then read it. You can install cups-pdf to do this. In a terminal do: sudo yum install cups-pdf After installation, you could create a directory in your home directory called "PDF". Then after it's installed, you can configure cups-pdf to save its PDF files to that directory, making this a central place to store them. To change the configuration of cups-pdf to do this, in a terminal do: sudo mousepad /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf Under the "Path Settings" section, comment out: "Out ${DESKTOP}" by placing a # sign at the beginning of the line. Then add a new line below it ... Out /home/user/PDF Save the file. Now when you go and print a file or say a webpage you're browsing, by selecting the cups-pdf printer (don't choose "Print to file" or you'll end up with a PS file instead of a PDF file), you can print a PDF to the PDF directory in your home directory. You can also add this PDF directory to Linpus' desktop menu system, just as you'd add any other directory under the "Files" section. Cheers.
Thanks guys. Cups solution looks good, as well as other. Ended up finding gsview as well. Gonna do the cups as well, so I can practice with Vi. lol. Tnx again. -Rxman
Small little tip: I found it better to change the line to: Out /home/user/Documents This way it goes to the main directory that opens when you use the "My Documents" icon on the Aspire One.
Whatever turns your crank. I like to keep all my PDFs in their own directory and as I've stated, you can have a PDF directory show up on your desktop. Cheers.
Is there a config setting that can be changed so that the print to file default format is PDF, rather than PS?
