We - might do this through the 'tee' capability mentioned above. However, we - currently prefer the idea of implementing a completely separate program to - add thumbnails to an arbitrary, existing PDF file: this would allow - Ghostscript to add thumbnails to PDF files generated by other programs. - <I>Much of the code needed to do this has already been written - for Ghostscript's PDF linearizer: see - <b><tt>lib/pdfwrite.ps</tt></b>. A user has implemented this as well, - using a separate program that calls Ghostscript: see - <a href="http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g029/eurotex99/oberdiek/"> - http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g029/eurotex99/oberdiek/</a>. - </I> - <h3>Consolidate inkjet drivers into a single family.</h3> --- 238,241 ----
