graphics sizer - NAC (almost)

[Kurt Deschler]

Mike,

It you are trying to format to a specific page size, you should
print/export the pictures to PDF. That is the best and most portable way
to preserve print format IMO and most puplications that I have dealt
with prefer PDF submissions. The free way to do this is to print to a
postscript file, then use ghostscript and gsview to export to PDF. You
can also install ghostscript as a PDF printer in windows using redmon. I
have detailed instructions for this if you are interested.
