Converting grads output to PDF

[Sytske Kimball]

JP,
 
This sounds like it may work. There are so many formats out there, I never thought to try png. 
What settings do you use for the x and y number of pixels?
 
Thanks for yiur help,
Sytske

Hi there 
    The method I tend to use is to output my figure in png format using the printim command then inset that into my text, as you have control of the output image size you can size it perfectly and get good resolution.
    Once my document in complete I print to file then use the utility ps2pdf to convert to acrobat pdf format. (I'm not sure if there is a ps2pdf utility under windows, you may have to hack ghostcript (not easy), find a linux box or buy acrobat distiller though at some stage acrobat had a handy utility on their website to create pdf)
    Good luck 
       JP

Fellow grads users, 
 
I'm sure some of you out there have submitted articles to AMS journals. The  article has to 
be submitted in the form of a single PDF file, including text and figures with captions. Is there 
a way to insert grads output into a PDF text file (created with word perfect and converted to PDF) 
with the figure captions already in the text file? I know I could put the captions on the 
figures using grads, but that is a lot of extra work. I've tried converting postscript figures to 
word perfect graphics using Correll Draw but then the figures get distorted. Any suggestions 
on how to do this efficiently would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks in advance,
