You, can does this on Windows as well. Just install ghostscript (and
gsview) - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ However, are you sure that ps2pdf
did embedded all the fonts as your publisher demends?

Then I don't know - it seems to be Adobe Distiller specific. Maybe you
should post the joboptions and the error message in a forum for Adobe
Distiller discussions.

If you're numbering the theorems manually, this will give you a bold 1. If
you want a bold theorem number with automatic theorem-numbering, you'd
probably have to go in and change amsclass.tex itself.

Try checking the following page (I googled for newtheoremstyle, to
find this link):

http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/amslatex.html#theorem

It looks like you get a bold theorem number (but not theorem name) by using
{\thmname{#1}\thmnumber{ {\bf #2}}\thmnote{ (#3)}} as CUSTOM-HEAD-SPEC.
More explicitly, try:

\newtheoremstyle{boldthmnum}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{\thmname{#1}\thmnumber{ {\bf
    #2}}\thmnote{ (#3)}}

Precisely what I was looking for! You're much more helpful than the AMS 
support team :-)

Thanks again!

A lof of thanks go to Hans, Alan and \thehyperjack.

I did what your guys told me. Nice pdf files including .eps files were 
generated and the table issue was fixed.

Thanks,

Ben

pdflatex can also include .png and .pdf graphics files. Since .pdf is=20
vector-based (and hence potentially resolution-independent), I prefer it.=20
Even if I'm using raster graphics, if I am including line drawings or data=20
charts (as opposed to photographs and similar art), I prefer png to jpeg.

You can convert graphics from eps to pdf using ghostcript and the=20
epstopdf.pl script by Sebastian Rahtz and others. The script is on CTAN:=20
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/epstopdf.html). This has an =

advantage over gsview->convert because you can batch-convert a bunch of=20
files all at once.

If you have an update MiKTeX config.download35 is located in
...\texmf\dvips\tetex\config.download35

Then you (mostlikely) have created a figure (in some software) that are
using the Times font without embedding it - that's quite common. Try to
compile your document with the draft option set for the graphicx package.
If the error goes away then you know it's one of your figures...

This has been reported by several users. But I was never able to reproduce
the problem, though I have a rough idea how to fix it. You may want to
monitor this tracker item:

OK, I see. Try doing the following:

1) Create a (text) file called "config.download35" containing one line:

p +download35.map

2) Put that file in the same directory as your latex file (or better in
...\localtexmf\dvips\config and then refresh the filename database).

3) Compile your dvi-file (in a DOS prompt) with
dvips -Pdownload35 filename.dvi

The try Adobe Distiller. (The map file download35.map is part of recent
MiKTeX and ensure that all standard postscript font are downloaded /
embedded in the ps file.)

Best regards,
Hans

Disclaimer: I never use Adobe Distiller (since it's commercial) so I
might be far off. I think ps2pdf, part of the free ghostscript software,
is doing a good enuogh job.

Actually, if you have updated MiKTeX after 2003-12-22 you may skip step 1)
and 2) - sorry if this cause you extra work.

I guess you are using pdflatex which doesn't support EPS. This is a FAQ:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdftexgraphics

Minimal example, please.

You should be able to proceed in essentially the same way.

How??
Note that pdflatex does not support EPS.
This has nothing to do with your switch of systems,
as far as I can see.

However dvipdfm does support EPS very nicely
(assuming you have ghostscript installed).
This is a key reason I use it instead.

Just use the same code you used before,
but run dvipdfm after you LaTeX your .tex file.

I answered this in some sense - if somebody makes a MiKTeX package of a
package on CTAN they can submit it to the package tracker and it will be
in the MiKTeX package repository in a week or so, if they just submit a
feature request it may take months but it will mostlikely make it into the
repository at some point... So I guess - Yes, "ALL AND EVERYTHING".
