The empty title option omits the title page altogether: is that what you want? There is also the question of what Times New Roman is: is that the default Times font that's built in to every Postscript printer out there or is that some M$ abomination that they've arbitrarily stuck onto the requirements? When I produce a PDF with the above options and look at its properties with acroread, the fonts it shows are Nimbus which I think are the Times clones that are distributed with ghostscript. If it is *that* important, you should probably check the PDF file that's produced for conformance. HTH, Nick
