Dear Olivier

I have tested my example again on Mac OSX, and on the Mac it is
reproducible, both with Adobe Reader 6.0 and with Apple´s Preview.

When trying to open it with gv on the Mac, I get the following
GhostScript Message:
Error: /invalidfileaccess in --file--
Operand stack:
    (/Users/rabbitus/ROOT/rootcode/xpsx/c1.pdf)   (r)
Execution stack:
    %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval-- 
--nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval-- 
   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop 
1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop 
.runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2 
%stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval-

I hope that this message may be helpful.

P.S.: It seems that my mail with the example did not appear in
roottalk although I have sent a cc to roottalk ,so I will try to
send it again with separate mail so that other MacRooters could
try to reproduce it.

Best regards
Christian
