I overlooked the fact that
the print-to-file feature of Maple produces a postscript file, rather
than a .pdf file. If your home computer can print postscript
files, then you can disregard this note. Otherwise, you can
convert a postscript file to a .pdf one in Unix as follows:
- Click on the KDE icon at the bottom left corner of your KDE
work environment. A pop-up menu appears. Click on Utilities. A side menu pops
out. Click on Terminal.
A Unix X terminal appears (a window with a command prompt).
- At the command prompt, type ls <ENTER>.
- This lists the files in the current directory. You
should see the Maple worksheet in postscript format (<filename>.ps)
; this is the output you should have just printed-to-file from Maple.
- To convert this to .pdf format, simply type at
the command prompt the following command:
ps2pdf
<filename>.ps
- The output of the above command is a .pdf file, with file
name <filename>.pdf.
You may use the ls
command to list files again to confirm that the .pdf file is now indeed
there. E-mail this .pdf file to yourself for printing at home.
