On what platform? I can get readable pdf files, well I tried 1, from 4.0.7
on a 5 year old Mac clone. The pdf is still not perfect though, a non-bolded
font seems to have been used instead of bold.

I also have Acrobat 3.0 and the pdf files created with Acrobat from PgS
AREN't quite right either. They seem to physically shrink. That is the
margins seem to grow and everything else shrink.

Aloha,

OK, I'm really confused and disappointed now.

A guy here (sorry I don't remember who) said that his new PgS for Windoz
leaded has old Atari docs with no problem at all!!

Great. Wonderful.

So I downloaded the newest version and it is worse than before!

I uploaded the test file to the group file list.

Several people were able to load it up on their Amigas, then change the
fonts so that they could save it.

But I can't even do that with the new PgS, it bombs out before it gets
to the missing (Atari) fonts.
