DVI to PDF not preserving margins and font size

Post by wannabegeek »

Good day
I use texlive through Ubuntu 9.10.

When I compile the code included below, the DVI output looks perfect. However, when I convert with dvipdf or dvipdfm or use pdflatex, the output
has completely different margins.

Opening the DVI in evince and saving the file as a PDF, does produce a PDF which looks like the DVI. However, the program gives a warning that the xref tables are broken.

Gv, xdvi produces the same wrong pdf...


I tried pdftk and no luck.

tia , this is my CV, I really want it perfect !

Removed code in edit.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
