Re: Halving the size...

[Mats Bengtsson]

You didn't say what computer environment you use, but on Linux or
Cygwin (probably also in Fink), there are programs that can be used
to modifiy PostScript files. In your case, the program psresize is
probably useful. Other useful PostScript tools include psnup and
psbook, not to mention pstops which has lots of possibilities but
a too complicated syntax for the options, in my opinion.
Look at the manual pages of these programs for more information.
