Hi Paul & Ken,

In IDL 8.0, multi-page postscript files still work fine, just as they
did before.

For the new graphics, we added support for PDF output, but we ran out
of time to do multi-page output. I have some prototype code that adds
this feature, if you're interested in trying it out.

Cheers,
