No, my laptop suddenly decided to jump off the table and into the floor,
killing the HDD. So i do not even have FC3 available - i am typing this
from an FC2 machine. To much data to do a full reinstall (and to "messed
up" to do an upgrade - at least i think so... Don't want to risk
anything of my data. Think i have to buy a DVD-burner or something...).

But doing "pdf2ps" GURU-blah-rpmguide.pdf produced a ps, which showed
the same problems in ggv (and an unreadable resolution).

But as i mentioned - acroread (7.0?) parsed it just fine - but the
printer did not (i do not know if it was cups or the printer - a HP
LaserJet 4 Si (postscript printer from 1992) and another, quite new
LaserJet. The setup was acroread -> kprinter -> local CUPS -> remote
cups (-> windows server in case of the newer LaserJet) -> Printer
(JetDirect))
