Sophistry, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i hope. (given your name) ;-)

Sophistry - (def.) "the use of fallacious arguments, esp. with the intention of deceiving."

Anyway, do you happen to know anything about Ghostscript and how to use it? I find the docs confusing and am not sure how to get it installed on my host server or whether it requires a server-wide install or if I'm able to install it on just my account.
