Re: PDF graphics
Thanks for this. We were stuck going the ps to pdf route
but I wasn't happy to lose hyperlinks.
However, how do I up the pdfjadetex capacities, it's failing:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=500].
The stack size seems pinned to 500, I've actually set:
stack_size = 1000 % simultaneous input sources
I could increase it to 500, then increases past that just
didn't take effect. Any suggestions? Is this related to some
other config option in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf?
