Interesting idea. I do not (yet) have pdf-1.40 so I can not test this. = Does it work for "normal" cases? The modes manual says *last* This mode is set if the last run in a session is taking place. = Normally this is not known in advance, unless one has asked for an = additional imposition pass. which makes be believe that it will not work for normal cases. = However, how about adding a switch to texexec, say --draft, which = will run the document in draftmode until no more runs are needed, and = will then run a final typesetting run without the draftmode. This may = speed up the execution time for long documents significantly. Aditya
