[KLUG Members] Those grainy postscript files...

What program is generating the original output?

If you convert the PDF to Postscript (pdftops) and view it in ggv does it do the
same thing?

What version of ghostscript do you have?

Have you tried setting the output resoltion -r<xres>x<yres>

Any commonality as to the input graphic format?  (You embed a JPEG in an image
verses a TIFF, etc...)
