Has > anyone figured out a good way of dealing with this? I don't think 'showpage' is the problem. My experience with pageview is that it works only on (a) one-page files, or (b) files which conform to the Adobe Document Structuring conventions. It uses the structuring comments to select a single page to be imaged; without the comments, it never finds page boundaries so it overlays all the pages. -- Rich
