Generate letter size PostScript from DVI

After using latex to get an dvi file, you should run these commands:

dvips -Ppdf -G0 myfile.dvi
ps2pdf myfile.ps

If the generated pdf file has very small top margin, it means dvips generated A4 size but you expected letter size. Thus you should use dvips like this:

dvips -t letterSize -Ppdf -G0 myfile

epstopdf 90 rotate: a ghostscript bug

The epstopdf command coming from your TeX distrubution can convert eps to pdf. However, due to a bug in GhostScript, the image is rotated by 90 degrees sometimes.

egrep -v "^%%Orientation:" my.eps | epstopdf --filter --outfile=my.pdf
