As you saw, I did this but then at first sight the arrows on lines pop out.
But I will try it also with your recommended Generic Adobe PPD.

I also did this, and after a half hour it did reach page 6 of 24 pages.
And I will print a pdf-document with 260 pages.

Wow!! Why do you do this?
There are problems with save as pdf in PGS. But then print this, and
reconvert this.
Am I missing the point here?
If it takes too long to explain, say: yes.

Now from version 5.0.1.35 the lines with arrows are correct. So they do
not extend.
And I printed to a bitmap printer. These are correct.
Then I 'print' it to a .ps, convert it to pdf with Distiller, and the
lines with arrows are much longer.

Hangover should be leftover. I didn't read this carefully before
sending. (Deron maybe got an hangover from the Windows version  )

And after sending I did export as PDF, and behold: bold is showing.
Ok what I did mean was lines with arrows, which are lines. Colours are
nearby but visible not the right.
And I am not critical, I think.

Thanks for the extended explanation, Paul!
