Hi fellow TeXmacs users,

I am in the last stages of preparing course notes for the fall and find I cannot upload them to lulu.com because of complaints about corrupted pdf. "evince" on Ubuntu 11.04 also complains (see below), so I think this is not a problem at lulu.com. With TeXmacs 1.0.7.7, I have this problem; with 1.0.7.3 both evince and lulu like my PDF.

I have several ideas for possible workarounds (load and print it from evince or Apple Preview or Adobe Distiller, or export to LaTeX from TeXmacs and see how that does, or save from TeXmacs as postscript and use ps2pdf), but I've not yet had a chance to try these and I'm not *sure* any of them will work. This seems to me the sort of thing that might be higher priority than my previous problems.

I have attached PDF files from the file "list-in-fig.tm", which was the subject of a question days (weeks?) ago. I have the PDF from both 1.0.7.7 and 1.0.7.3, as well as one (list-in-fig-small.pdf) in which I took out the list is a figure that was causing margin overruns, in case that was the source of the problem. According to evince and lulu, everything I submit from TeXmacs 1.0.7.7 is bad.

Here is what evince has to say:

$ evince list-in-fig-small.pdf
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table

Note also that the new TeXmacs produces PDF files about 1/2M in size, whereas the old produced about 22K.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Dave Wonnacott
