I seldom do a search with the find panel open. Usually I enter the =20
search text with cmd-e or I close the find panel after entering the =20
search text. Now one can use cmd-g and or cmd-shift-g to search =20
forwards and backwards. This way there is no disturbing panel around. =20=
These are standard keyboard shortcuts and should work in every editor.

It would be a good solution too if the search panel would disappear
after you press return, click any of the search buttons, or enter cmd-g
or cmd-shift-g -- usually man can remember a thing for a few seconds.
And if not: you have in light yellow marked what you forgot to
remember.
Programmatically this works well in Mail and in some browsers. Why not
in TeXShop too?

Hi everybody,
there has been some discussion on the subject of the resolution of =20
PDFs created by Pdftex before, but I still have a question. AFAIK =20
pdftex preserves the resolution of included bitmap graphics, while =20
fonts are resolution independendent. So far, so good. I'm currently =20
working on my thesis and have different kind of bitmap graphics, most =20=
of them in quite high resolutions. My problem is that the final PDF =20
ends up quite big and many pictures actually have a far deeper =20
resolution than needed. My question: Can I somehow scale down all the =20=
included images to the same dpi, let's say that all images don't go =20
over 1200dpi?
TIA

You can use the OS X ColorSync Utility. Open the PDF with this, then
create a new filter. In the details tab, select Images from the pop-up
list. You can then choose to downsample images and to JPEG compress
them, which will reduce their size by a large amount.
Not quite what you asked for (can't specify DPI), but a step in the
right direction!

Thanks. I just realized that my question wasn't put well. What I want =20=
is to tell Pdf(la)tex to scale down the document. Of course, I could =20
downsample the individual images, but I'm looking for a solution =20
which would allow to keep one version of the original images and have =20=
different pdfs created depending on the resolution I need on a =20
specific occasion. Let's say a low resolution to put the document on =20
the web and a high resolution for printing. So I don't want to =20
manipulate the images but have pdftex downsample them.

I think that's just what Ben suggested: the ColorSync filter will
change the image resolution (you can specify 300 dpi, for example) of
the images in the PDF, if you apply the filter to the PDF document
(for example, when printing the document to a new PDF and choosing
"ColorSync"/"Quartz filter" in the print dialog).
\pdfimageresolution=3D300 might be more elegant, though.

I needed to convert a PNG file and wanted to use the convert command

which doens't contain /usr/local/man (I've done the quick'n dirty fix
man -M /usr/local/man convert).
Have I messed up during my install of TeX (CLI use has been

In case your OS X is Tiger, the MANPATH is set in a different way, in =20=
the file /usr/share/misc/man.conf, which associates a man file =20
directory with a binary file directory. In your case,
MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man
The problem is that i-Installer installs man files inside /usr/local/=20
man, not /usr/local/share/man (apart from TeX itself).
For TeX, Gerben Wierda has recently modified the installation, such =20
that the following line is (on Tiger) added to man.conf:
MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-=20
current /usr/local/teTeX/man
However, there is no such modification for the other i-Packages. It's =20=
the GhostScript i-Package IIRC which adds /usr/local/bin to PATH; =20
hence I imagine it's this same i-Package which should modify =20
man.conf, if appropriate.
The problem is that I don't know whether several man directories can =20
be associated with a single bin directory:
- If yes, then you could simply add the line
MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man
to man.conf.
- If not, then by editing the original MANPATH_MAP line to remove =20
the /share in the man directory path, then you would risk to break =20
things should you install afterwards software using /usr/local/share/=20
man/.
Another solution is to use ManOpen . It's a GUI man page visualizer, which pretty-displays =20
and pretty-prints them. It comes with a CLI version called "openman", =20=
which can be invoked from Terminal (simply replace man by openman) =20
and opens the man page in ManOpen. ManOpen includes a preference =20
allowing man path directories to be specified. I'm using it all the =20
time instead of man.
Hope this helps,

pdfpages work a bit, and a bit surprising too. Actually the only kind=20

FontForge should do the job, though I've never managed to find the =20
proper way to use it (exact choice of options when converting from =20
one font format to another). i-Installer has an i-Package for it. It =20
needs X11 to be installed (optional when installing OS X). Once both =20
are installed, you may either:
- Launch FontForge from Terminal by typing:
open-x11 fontforge
- Launch FontForge from X11 by typing, in the xterm window:
/usr/local/bin/fontforge
- Add a new item to X11's Applications menu, with:
Name: FontForge
Command: /usr/local/bin/fontforge
and then use this menu.
At install time, the TeX i-Package converts the PostScript Latin =20
Modern fonts included in teTeX to OpenType format (in /Library/Fonts/=20
Latin Modern/) for use in OS X GUI applications, which seems to =20
indicate the same conversion should be possible for the Fourier fonts =20=
as well.
You might try to contact Michel Bovani, the author of the Fourier-GUT =20=
fonts. His email address may be found at , for example.

Looking more closely, I'm feeling pessimistic:
- I've just opened all the PFB Fourier font files in FontForge, =20
that's straightforward. However, Fourier fonts are rather =20
fragmentary, and in odd encodings. When in TeX, the virtual font =20
mechanism allows the combination of this fragmentary set of =20
characters (Greek letters, math symbols, etc.) with the Utopia font, =20
to form full-fledged fonts. I'm not sure they can be useful in OS X =20
otherwise.
- Given the above, you would need to have the Utopia fonts in =20
TrueType or OpenType format as well. I'm not certain the Utopia =20
license would allow the conversion from PS, but I'm no specialist. I =20
would tend to believe this is allowed, but Justin Walker on this list =20=
has often temperated my enthusiasm regarding licenses. If not =20
allowed, this would mean purchasing the fonts from Adobe. See , and the other =20
collections referenced therein.
In case your use of the fonts in OS X would simply be to annotate =20
figures prepared with Adobe Illustrator, you can do this from TeX I =20
think, using WARMFigToPDF .
Hope this helps,

(1) Please do not start a new thread (with the corresponding new

email clients, such as Apple's Mail, will then put all of these

I fix this by creating a symbolic link from /usr/local/man to
/usr/local/share/man thus:
cd /usr/local
sudo ln -s share/man man
(this assumes of course that you've already emptied /usr/local/man if
it exists, and put everything in /usr/local/share/man)
After this, anything that tries to put stuff in /usr/local/man will
automagically be guided to put it in /usr/local/share/man instead.

I use this too - it rocks.

I have a mac-type 1 version of the fonts (I never distribute it because
I don't want to maintain this version, but I can send the fonts to
anybody who ask for them). Note that the ex font is a true-type version
because fontlab was unable to make the mac bitmap...

No licence problem whith fourier. Note that it is not the same for
utopia, but there is a mac version of it on ctan.

I tried to use '\pdfimageresolution 30' in the preamble but size of =20
document did not change. Do I have to apply it to every image? Also =20
from pdftex manual:
\pdfimageresolution (integer)
The integer \pdfimageresolution parameter (unit: dots per inch, dpi) =20
is a last resort value, used only for bitmap (jpeg,
png) images, but not for pdfs. The priorities are as follows: Often =20
one image dimension (width or height) is stated
explicitely in the TEX file. Then the image is properly scaled so =20
that the aspect ratio is kept. If both image dimensions are
given, the image will be stretched accordingly, whereby the aspect =20
ratio might get distorted. Only if no image dimension
is given in the TEX file, the image size will be calculated from its =20
width and height in pixels, using the x and y resolution
values normally contained in the image file. If one of these =20
resolution values is missing or weird (either < 0 or > 65535),
the \pdfimageresolution value will be used for both x and y =20
resolution, when calculating the image size. And if the
\pdfimageresolution is zero, finally a default resolution of 72 dpi =20
would be taken. The \pdfimageresolution is
read when pdfTEX creates an image via \pdfximage. The given value is =20
clipped to the range 0..65535 [dpi].
Doesn't this imply use of \pdfimageresolution just in the case if a =20
value for either width or height is missing? I am a novice so I may =20
be wrong, but for me it is not working. What is wrong? Thanks for help.

Often I'm trying selectively replace something, so this would only work
if there were a keyboard shortcut for "replace". That would be great,
not just for the visual problem I posed. I haven't seen such a shortcut
nor do I see how to program such thing. Anyone else?
