Prosper & PDF Output

Prosper cannot be used with PDFTeX and hence PDF files must be obtained via the DVI -> PS -> PDF route. The default ps2pdf conversion, however, generates a PDF with pages that are a bit too narrow. This is easily remedied by specifying the size of the output desired to the ps2pdf program:

$ ps2pdf -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=x -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=y somefile.ps

Where 'x' is the width in and 'y' is the height in 1/72" units. So, for an approximately A4 size output, 'x'=595 & 'y'=842.
