Re: [HACKERS] Hardcopy docs available

There may be a better way to create PDF files if you have TeX. See
http://www.tug.org/applications/jadetex/

I haven't used Jade, so I don't know, but the PDF files that are output by
pdftex and pdflatex are smaller than those created by ps2pdf and easier to
read on your monitor (I think because they use the built-in PDF fonts where
they can.)
