How I can plot directly a pdf - file without plotting a ps - file before

Peach99

When I want to plot the schematic I only can plotting a ps - file. But now I can convert this file to a pdf - file. My question is how I can plot the schematic directly to a pdf - file. I think I have to change the .cdsplotinit - file but I don't know how I can do this. Can anybody help me please.

Best Regards

    We have these settings that allow us to plot with different resolutions. Our ps to pdf conversion program is called ps2pdf13. We pass it a dash argument to indicate the input comes from stdin.

    PDF_6000dpi|Large Postscript: \
            :type=postscript2: \
            :spool=ps2pdf13 - > /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf ; (acroread /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf &): \
            :resolution#6000: \
            :maximumPages#30: \
            :paperSize="A" 48000 63000 1500 1500:
    PDF_3000dpi|Medium Postscript: \
            :type=postscript2: \
            :spool=ps2pdf13 - > /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf ; (acroread /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf &): \
            :resolution#3000: \
            :maximumPages#30: \
            :paperSize="A" 24000 31500 750 750:
    PDF_1000dpi|Small Postscript: \
            :type=postscript2: \
            :spool=ps2pdf13 - > /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf ; (acroread /tmp/plot_${LOGNAME}.pdf &): \
            :resolution#1000: \
            :maximumPages#30: \
            :paperSize="A" 8000 10500 250 250:
