Re: print command fails on PDF

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello
Sorry I cannot answer your question directly.

As an altanative solution, you will print graph in ps format and convert it by 
ps2pdf in ghostscript.

In most case it gives better results in producing pdf files even if gnuplot 
suppors pdf
in gnuplot. (not from octave case directly by gnuplot. I myself does not use 
octave to make 
publish grade graph. I use gnuplot itself because it is convinient to adjust 
detailed design of graph.
(My exeprience of gnuplot is much longer than that of Octave.))
So I always make pdf graph via ps and convert it by ps2pdf or adobe distiller.

If someone tells you direct solution, perhaps it will be helpful for you in 
practical sense.

Regards

Tatsuro
