[Gvsig_english] issues regarding pdf-export

[Marcus C. England]

Wolfgang et al,

I had mentioned this in a previous message. I am working with gvSIG on 
Ubuntu, and one thing that it took me awhile to discover (as my boss was 
complaining about how my maps looked) was that PDF's produced in gvSIG 
are very greenish looking with resolution issues when viewed in Adobe 
Reader. Oddly enough, these problems do not exist when the same PDF's 
are viewed in the Linux PDF viewer or when pulled into other programs. 
As a workaround, when I finalize a map as a PDF, I open it in GIMP and 
then re-print to PDF and the result is fine. Its a pain in the butt, but 
it works...

-Marcus
