Greetings :-)  This Postscript file for a greeting card:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/free/ooo_pjb_com_au_card.ps
views just fine on my debian stable gv 3.7.4, ie: it displays in
A4 Portrait, which if I fold in half gives me a greeting card :-)

But converting it to pdf (for the local photocopy shop) with:
  cat ooo_pjb_com_au_card.ps | /usr/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=ooo_pjb_com_au_card.pdf -
it gives me a ooo_pjb_com_au_card.pdf which when I view it with
  gv ooo_pjb_com_au_card.pdf
displays in Seascape, all shifted around and with most of
the image chopped off :-(
Do I need to specify something I haven't specified ?

Peter
