Re: VDCT PostScript problem

[Matthieu Bec <mbec@gemini.edu>]

Hi Eric,

I don't normally use this feature. Quick check here gives me the same 
problem. One work around: select 'print preview', click the print button 
there, use something like cups-pdf (linux) that worked for me.
Might not be very helpful if you bulk process a bunch of schematics from 
command line (if that option exists).
