Hi!
I recently submitted my proj synopsis, over which the examiner was not at all impressed (spacing,indentation,et al...)
We had done the thing in Microsoft Word format ( I used Star Office while my colleagues Microsoft Office )
I researched a little and found out that groff and Latex are great doc formatting (typesetting ?) tools. Also I discovered that mostly Latex is preferred over groff. Now I've learnt Latex a little. However the pdf file I create (with the help of dvips and ps2pdf) looks very crappy in acrobat reader. Ghostview however displays the thing quite well. Is this normal? Has anyone tried Latex and stuff ?
Most probably we would print the project on a Windows machine ( i guess very few DTP vendors have Linux as of yet :( ). One of my friends told me that pdf files do not print quite well as compared with Microsoft Word files. Is this correct? I'm in a fix. I'm beginning to like Latex. But at the same time I would not like to face problems with the printing and stuff.
Has anyone made his/her synopsis/report/article in Latex ? Is there any other good doc formatting system? Please guide
Thx Nikhil
