This sounds to me as if you were using the hyperref package with pdftex option  
enabled (in this case, pdftex is invoked automatically and you produce a pdf 
instead of a dvi). If so, try to change the option to dvips. 
You can afterwards produce a pdf with dvips and ps2pdf from the dvi. Be sure 
to read the hyperref package's documentation as this way implies further 
problems, such as problems with linebreaks in urls when using the url package 
(see its documentation if you run into this problem).

Hope this helps with prob 1.

Gunnar :)
