Printing to PDF documents
Printing to a .pdf document is inconvenient because the Adobe PDF Writer insisted on creating a separate disk file for each page plotted, and combining the files is tedious.
When NUTS sends a plot to a printer, each is created as a separate "document" to allow independent printing of each plot. New commands have been created to allow multiple plots to be spooled to a .pdf document together.
startdoc
This (non-2-letter) command tells NUTS to plot but without closing the "document". Successive plots can be spooled, but are not sent to the printer until a "" command is given.
enddoc
This command closes the plot "document" and causes all queued plots to be sent to the printer. When printing to a .pdf file, the resulting .pdf document includes all pages plotted since the startdoc command was executed.
