Sorry, haven't seen such a thing but can't they (the printing vendors) |
| 19 |
accept postscript as well? I know some (academic) publishers requires |
| 20 |
you to use specially formatted TeX templates which, of course, is not |
| 21 |
the same thing but I would be surprised if the printshop wouldn't accept |
| 22 |
postscript since the resulting dvi files (from the *TeX output) are |
| 23 |
usually translated to postscript (or maybe I'm behind the times...). |
| 24 |
Postscript is a vector format (all text, figures and pictures [if the |
| 25 |
picture source is in vector format] are made up of lines and bezier curves). |
