Re: [Help-glpk] producing PDF documentation

[Nigel Galloway]

Or join the 21st. century and use XPS. This is the native print form (replacing 
Enhanced Metafile Format ) for Windows Vista (and XP with the service update). 
XPS is produced simply by selecting the virtual printer on the print form. It 
is a zipped archive of pages with formatting information in XML, so can be 
read, searched and information extracted using any enabled web browser (i.e. 
Internet Explorer), or XML editor/viewer. New printers should print it without 
assistance from the PC.

Size? well that's another matter, only mobile phones and hearing aids get 
smaller.
