VMS Help CONVERT, /DOCUMENT, CDA Base Service Converters, PostScript Output Converter, SOFT_DIRECTIVES  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    SOFT_DIRECTIVES [ON,OFF] specifies whether the PostScript output
    converter processes soft directives in the DDIF file in order
    to format output. (Soft directives specify such formatting
    commands as new line, new page, and tab.) If the PostScript
    output converter processes soft directives, the output file will
    look more like you intended. The default value is ON.
