I use vim with syntax highlight as my primary editor. I was writing some ruby for Linux class. I wanted to hand in my assignment as PDF with syntax highlight. So I found google around and found this trick:
First off, we have vim with :syntax on
Next, we print it to postscript (.ps) with the command:
:hardcopy >/tmp/filename.ps |
next we cd to /tmp and convert the .ps to pdf
:~$ cd /tmp :/tmp$ ps2pdf example.ps :/tmp$ ls *.pdf example.pdf |
the PDF looks like this: example pdf

This is actually really useful thanks. Do you think you could do a metadata extraction tutorial next.
metadata from PDF or what’s your thoughts ?
I’m glad you could use the small tip..
