another way to work with Stepan's PDF files.<br>
<br>
I opened his PDF file of the column in GSview, which runs Ghostscript. I
then chose Edit->convert to vector format->magick driver. This
driver uses GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick to do conversions. I have
GraphicsMagick installed on the Windows XP system I was doing this
on. When naming the output file, I gave it an ".svg"
extension, which tells the driver what format I want to convert to. After
conversion, I opened the file in Inkscape and deleted a couple of black boxes
obscuring the images and also a black curve in the arrow of the the fourth
sign. Then, like Stefan, I did a little different layout, grouping
into signs first, then moving the signs around.<br>
