Abstract We have analyzed the EUVE spectrum of PG1234+482 with fully blanketed model atmospheres taking into account several million lines of heavy elements. Most of the spectral features in the short (SW) and medium (MW) wavelength spectrum can be identified with lines of iron, nickel and calcium ions.
