Short: Scale-down IBrowse PS printouts
Author: cary.here@att.net (Cary Driscoll)
Uploader: cary.here@att.net (Cary Driscoll)
Version: 1.3
Type: text/print
Requires: Ghostscript 3.18
This script requires AFPL Ghostscript 3.18, available from:
http://www.whoosh777.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
It will produce a second postscript file with the output from
IBrowse scaled down to fit your laser printer's paper size.
BEFORE YOU RUN THE SCRIPT:
Make sure you edit the following line near the end of the script:
ADDRESS COMMAND 'echo >>T:Tmp' '"GS813:bin/gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=876 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=1128 -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=T:temp.pdf $InFile"'
You need to change the point sizes for the following two parameters:
"-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=876" and "-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=1128"
In my "Postscript Printer Preferences" I have the "Paper Format"
set to "Custom", and my "Paper Width" and "Paper Height" are set
to 12.17 inches and 15.67 inches respectively. Thus, at 72 points
per inch I end up with the two values above of 876 and 1128.
You will need to calculate the point size values based on your own
workbench PS prefs and edit this script accordingly.
The script also assumes that GS8.13's executible is located at
"GS813:bin/gs". If this is not the case with your Ghostscript
installation you will need to edit this portion of the script
as well.
I believe using the script is rather straight-forward.
First select the source PS file. Then select a file location
for the scaled-down output PS file. Finally, select the page size
you want the scaled file to fit.
T: will by used by the script for two temporary files.
