Hi,
I use groff 1.17, with -ma4 macro and here is my deps/DESC file

with my own very old ghostscript, ps2pdf works fine. But I now use
very frequently http://www.ps2pdf.com
(because for technical reasons, I can't install a newer version
of ghostscript on my computer, and because I like the newer output
much better than the old one (I use non standard font, and don't
like them to be bitmapped and completely included even if I only use
one char ;-)
Note that all my postscript document are well handled by http://www.ps2pdf.com
except these coming from groff. I mean that dvips, lout, a2ps, enscript,
produce postscript output that is converted to A4 pdf.
BUT groff produce a nice A4 output that is converted to a translated
smaller PDF (probably some american heretical format like US legal
or US letter or anything I don't want to know). I tried to insert
by myself in the grops output the line:
%%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () ()
that I found in a2ps output (or enscript, don't remember), but the
result is the same than previsouly.
Note that if I preview my PDF with ghostview or gv under Unix,
everything seems to be OK, but if I send the file to my wife
which has AcrboatReader 5.0 on her imacs (Apple), I get the bad output.
If I look in tha file/info menu of Acrbat Reader, I am told the size
of my document is something I assume to be US letter.
What do I wrong ?
