Hi, all.

MacVim has a wonderful attribute which allows one to send a file to
Preview.app via :hardcopy to make a great looking PDF which can then be
transferred via iTunes to iPhones/iPads for reading on long, boring
Underground journeys.

Unfortunately the PDF generated from some user supplied help files for
plugins & the like are blemished by unsightly black marks where the
jump-to tags are (at least on my machine: Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo, 2.4
GHz running Snow Leopard with MacVim huge 7.3.353).

I've tried disabling syntax & such like but to no avail. Has anybody
else seen this? If so, any ideas on a workaround?

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Phil...

The workaround that almost universally works is convert to HTML using
":TOhtml". After that, I suppose you know enough ways to turn HTML
into PDF.

Hi, Yongwei.

OK, thanks for that. I'll give it a shot.

Cheers,
