You are reading my writing out of context. What I did was this:

1. I used the software pdf2ps and got a .ps file. The ps file was not a 
good copy of the pdf file.

2. I made a .ps from a pdf using the viewer and that ps file was a 
perfect copy of the pdf.

3. I observed the ps file made with the viewer is larger than the file 
made with pdf2ps, and this software did not work well at all.
