When producing pdf files have you not been happy with the quality of the text in the pdf
file?
If you create a copy of the pscriptc.plt plot driver file and add the following lines to the end of the file you will get much better text output. I also recommend changing the default_extension line as follows:
default_extension/auto_incExt = 'ps'; default extension for plotfiles

NOTE to use this method of plotting you will either have to place the file that you created by the plotting ie fname.ps into a distiller watched folder or drag and drop the file onto distiller.
