- If it's any help, the PostScript generated by the SunView 3.0 version of
- FrameMaker includes a clipping rectangle around the edge of the page. You
- can get objects to bleed outside this by sending them to the back of the
- page; they then appear in the PostScript before the clipping rectangle is
- defined.
