As far as I know, this does not depend on Lout-the-program,
but only on the library (.../lout/include) which you can extend yourself:
You'd need to find out what to write into the Lout-generated
PostScript so that your PostScript-to-PDF converter (in my case
`ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress') generates the desired PDF features.


Hope this helps!
