  Hi, 

  I use 

        gnuplot Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
        last modified Thu Apr 15 14:44:22 CEST 2004
        System: Linux 2.6.11-6mdksmp


  to generate colored and grayscale multiplots using pm3d map and splot.
  as the output, I would like to convert these multiplots to pdf. it seems 
  that standart recipe is not working or, and more probably, I am doing
  something wrong or missing. what I get at the end is the pdf version
  of the specific plot in the multiplot which comes last on the screen.
  can anybody tell me how to convert a colored multiplot into a pdf?

You already got an answer elsewhere.  It is that you're asking the 
question the wrong way.  You don't "convert" a plot to another output 
format.  You change the output format, then re-do the entire plot.

Them maybe you should start by upgrading to 4.2 patchlevel 2.

How is anybody supposed to be able to help with this if you don't tell 
what that "standard recipe" actually is?
