Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Vector graphics within PDFs ?

You won't get the fancy PDF features that way (bookmarks, links etc).

It is better to go to PDF then from PDF to PS.

My recipe

openjade -v -t tex -V tex-backend -d file.dsl#print xml.dcl file.xml
pdfjadetex file.tex
[repeat until references defined - I do this automatically with a
suitably cunning makefile]

then 

acroread -toPostScript -size a4 -level3 file.pdf

Put appropriate options in jadetex.cfg to control PDF features such as
link colour, initial mode to display (showing bookmarks or not, full
screen or not etc). e.g.

----------
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=None,  pdfauthor=Ian Castle,  colorlinks=true, 
linkcolor=blue,  pdfstartview=FitH}
\def\Gin@extensions{.pdf,.png,.jpg,.mps,.tif}
---------

Using Make, what I acutally do is:

make file.ps

or

make file.pdf

And it takes care of everything for me.
