Current make commands, omit the special sauce that creates a crisper screen (as opposed to printed) pdf:
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ make -n
echo Remaking EndOfYear11.dvi
latex EndOfYear11
bibtex EndOfYear11
./fix_bbl < EndOfYear11.bbl > EndOfYear11.bbl.fixed; mv EndOfYear11.bbl{.fixed,}
latex EndOfYear11
latex EndOfYear11
echo Remaking EndOfYear11.ps
dvips -o EndOfYear11.ps EndOfYear11.dvi
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$
Build ps and create pdf with:
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ make
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true EndOfYear11.ps
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ du -hs *.pdf

b2c tables
cyan link boxes are suitably eliminated for b2c tables
links still work OSX Leopard Preview.app
- cursor changes to gloved hand and hover message provides the URL, must keep cursor still for a second or so
links after b2c section in the references look standard and work, charmless url is simply a tt, not using hyperref package
the rare web page: {\tt http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/hfag/rare/index.html}.
Even with secret sauce still getting blurry pdf.
$(NAME).pdf : $(NAME).ps
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true $(NAME).ps
$(NAME).ps: $(NAME).dvi
dvips -z -Ppdf -G0 $(NAME).dvi -o $(NAME).ps
# suspect that only -Ppdf is important to creating goodquality pdf nowadays
-z Pass html hyperdvi specials through to the output for eventual distillation into PDF.
This is not enabled by default to avoid including the header files unnecessarily, and use of temporary files in
creating the output.
-P printername
Sets up the output for the appropriate printer.
This is implemented by reading in config.printername , which can then set the output pipe
(as in, !lpr -Pprintername as well as the font paths and
any other config.ps defaults for that printer only.
Note that config.ps is read before config.printername
In addition, another file called ~/.dvipsrc is searched for immediately after config.ps;
this file is intended for user defaults.
If no -P command is given, the environment variable PRINTER is checked.
If that variable exists, and a corresponding configuration file exists,
that configuration file is read in.
-G Causes dvips to shift non-printing characters to higher-numbered positions. This may be useful sometimes.
Looks just as grotty:
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ PRINTER=pdf make pdf ## 4.4 MB pdf
Add some sauce, hmm but still just as blurry:
simon:EndOfYear11 blyth$ ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true EndOfYear11.ps
Back to dvi:
NAME=EndOfYear11
Hmm still blurry.
Commenting the line, gets to scalable everywhere:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
Alternatives to this involve moving to a newer tex distribution or installing fonts.
