Ghostscript converting pdf problem
When attempting to create an image from a pdf file, instead of creating the output file, data is sent to the printer. Why? Here's my command line: C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop>"c:\program files\gs\gs9.00\bin \gs win32c" -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -dPrinted=false - sOutputfile='c:\yadda 1.png' xl1.pdf Thanks very much.

I've never heard of -dPrinted. I'd recommend adding the gs/bin to your path to avoid all that typing and quoting. It looks like you may have a space between the hyphen and sOutputfile. It it were me, I'd try somehow to stick to directories and files without spaces in them. It's difficult to see what the problem may be without seeing the output, unwrapped. I'm also not sure how whatever-os-this-is interprets single quotes. If you do have a space between the hyphen and sOutputFile (should be a big 'F', too, btw), then hyphen is interpreted to mean "read the standard input file first before any other files mentioned further on in the command line", sOutputfile=3Dwhatever could be interpreted by shell to set a variable (maybe?) or ghostscript could see the whole thing and look for a file by that name (it would probably display an error message if this was the case). To sum up, spaces and quoting are confusing the situation. Get rid of them somehow. Make sure the hyphen for an option is touching the rest of the option. Copy more of the session transcript (including any and all messages ghostscript prints to the screen). And what's your source for this -dPrinted option? -- lxt

The problem was I had: -sOutputfile When it should have been: -sOutputFile This is on Windows XP. Also, it didn't like the single quotes but is perfectly happy with double quotes. Once the first problem was fixed I got a reasonable response that made the quotes obvious. Minor rant: Ghostscript could have done much better by parsing the command line and responding with a warning on anything it can't interpret or anything that doesn't make sense.

Can't be done. The command line can and does contain aribtrary PostScript. Even the -d/-s switches merely set values in PostScript dictionaries which are only used when the relevant device wants them. So you can type -sYADAYADAYA=NOTHING without getting an error, but unless you have a device which reads an entry called /YADAYADAYADA from systemdict, nothing will happen. Of course the entry is still there, and you can write a PostScript program which interrogates it and uses the value. So these forms of switches can't be verified. Ken

Problems converting PDF to PDF/A with ghostscript
I am running Ghostscript 8.71 on Windows. I have tried just about every combination of switches and ICC profiles. The command that seems to work the best is as follows: gswin32 -dPDFA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIEColor - sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -sDEVICE=pdfwrite - sOutputFile=out_pdfa.pdf input_pdf.pdf This yields a seemingly valid PDF/A-1b (CMYK) for most files. I am able to open the files in acrobat and successfully validate the conformity of the document to the aforementioned PDF/A standard. Certain files do not pass the PDF/A conformity validation in Acrobat, despite the note in Acrobat stating the file is being viewed in PDF/A mode. The preflight test reports the following error: CIDset in subset font is incomplete ArialBoldItalicMT 14.112 pt TrueType (CID) embedded (as a subset) If I convert the offensive input_pdf.pdf file using Acrobat by printing to the Adobe PDF printer and selecting the PDF/A-1b (CMYK) standard the output PDF passes the preflight without any errors. Does anyone have any suggestions for consistently producing valid PDF/ A-1b (CMYK) documents with Ghostscript? Cheers!

Compression Problem for PS to PDF Convert with GSView4.5 + Ghostscript 8.11
I am having difficulty compressing files during a MS Word to .prn (postscript file) to PDF conversion when using GSView 4.5 and Ghostscript 8.11. I can create PDF files themselves without a problem, but regardless of what settings I use in the GSView 4.5 Convert window, the PDF file size is the same. I start by taking a MS Word document and then printing it to a .prn file using an HP postscript driver. I then open it up in GSView 4.5 and <Convert> then <pdfwrite>. In the Convert window I have a number of resolution choices (72, 300, 600, 720), but I don't get a file size difference between files that are supposed to be converted at 72 and 720. When I try to adjust the Properties (Compatability Level, CompressPages, UseFlateCompression) it won't "remember" the settings. For example, I could set CompressPages to "true", then click <OK>, but if I then open the Properties window again to re-confirm the settings I can see that they have reset themselves to "default". I also tried editting the settings to force it to remember that I selected compatability 1.4 and CompressPages true, which it does "remember" when I open the Properties window again, but still I don't see any difference in the resulting PDFs' file sizes. The file I'm testing it with is a mostly text MS Word '97 document that has a couple pages with some near-full page greyscale .jpgs. [I am thrilled just to be able to create PDF...
Converting PDF to Postscript
Hi, Is there anyway to use GhostScript to convert a PDF in to Postscript? If not what tools are out there that allow you do do this from a command line with no interaction?

The pdf2ps script uses the pswrite device, a level 1 PostScript output device. You will get better results (considerably better) by using the ps2write device, which outputs level 2 PostScript instead. Unless you require DSC conformance or level 1 output you should use ps2write instead. The ps2ps2 script will do this and despite the name works for PDF input as well as PostScript input.

convert from PDF to postscript
We are creating PDF files in our application and storing them, but we must also print them. I have it narrowed down to executing LPR from the application. Sample postscript files printed OK with this command, so I need to convert PDF files to postscript. I've been looking for something to do this and can't find it.

Font problem converting PDF...
I'm trying to use Ghostscript 8.54 to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. However, when I run this command: gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=outfile.jpg -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH infile.pdf This gives me an error dump (see end of this message). Has anyone seen this before? Based on experimentation, I think the problem may have something to do with the fact that there's an embedded OpenType Futura font in the PDF. Does something special need to be done to get Ghostscript to properly use embedded fonts? Do I need to change something in my Fontmap files? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

ghostscript: Converting only a page of a PDF

There are two ways to accomplish what you have requested using Ghostscript. If you want to convert a multipage PDF file into multiple jpeg files then you can use "%d" as part of the output file name specification. I. e. gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=output%d.jpg input.pdf -c quit If you want to select a range of pages from a PDF file then use the -dFirstPage and -dLastPage switches. I. e. to select only page 5: gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=page5.jpg -dFirstPage=5 -dLastPage=5 input.pdf -c quit Both of these methods are described in the doc/Use.htm file that came with your Ghostscript distribution. >>>>> "laredotornado" =3D=3D laredotornado <laredot...

Size problem with GSview converting to PDF
Hi All.. I am using GSView v 4.4 and it wokrs great for converting an MS Word document to PDF - but one small problem. The actual document size seems to be slightly smaller once converted. - e.g. I am doing ad copy for a newspaper in MS Wordfor a specific size (3.5x 4.5 inches). I print the document to a PS file using HP Color laser Jet 5500 PS print driver and then use GSView to convert to a PDF. The printed PDF version is just slightly smaller than the version printed directly from MS Word. Is there a way to adjust the sizing onthe conversion? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Convert to PDF (without PostScript) -- How is it Possible?
When someone explained to me what a PDF is, I came to understand that a PDF is essentially a "distilled" PostScript file. So to create one, you need to "print" to a PostScript printer driver, then "distill" the resulting postscript file with a PostScript interpreter, like Acrobat Distiller or Ghostscript. But OpenOffice can convert to PDF without PostScript. It just does it, and I can't imagine how. WordPerfect Office Suite has "Publish to PDF." You just click and a PDF happens. And there are other programs that perform similarly. None of ...
convert jpg to pdf: resolution problem?
Hello all, I'm wondering how to control the resolution of PDF when converting something to a PDF. (Actually, I'm not sure if I'm asking a right question in the first place. . . .) I'm using the "convert" command of "ImageMagick 5.4.4 04/05/02" on Debian Linux 3.0r5. When you convert a PostScript file containing a bitmap image, the image in the resultant PDF seems to have a lower resolution than the original in the PostScript. (The image in the PDF is blurred.) But, if you convert the PostScript to a PDF using the "ps2pdf" command, which comes with "GNU Ghostscript 6.53 (2002-02-13)", the image in the PDF is as crisp as the original. Well, you might say, "Use ps2pdf, then." :) Yes, but 1) I'm curious as to who decides the resolution when and why (Why does the convert dommand decide to "reduce" the resolution?). When I use some application such as MS Word and save the result as a PDF, I don't remember being asked to specify the resolution. If resolution matters, why am I not asked to specify it? 2) it would be nice if you can use a single command to do every image conversion. The "convert" command is close to that. Thank you, Ryo ...

WinEDT/Miktex problem to convert to PDF
I am using WinEDT and Miktex, and am recently having trouble converting to a pdf document. I was running the same document on another computer and everything was working-I moved and reinstalled the programs, and now I am not able to get a pdf document. I can compile (in LaTeX, not TeX) and get a dvi. I can also convert dvi to ps. Though when I try to convert ps2pdf I get an error (\undefinedfilename in (\(MSc thesis\)). What is also different between running it on my newest installation is that I do not have a ps2pdf button on the WinEDT tool bar. I tried to insert one by going to Menu Setup -- double clicking on accessories - inserting macro ps2pdf - and assigning it to the appropriate button. Though, when I try to use the button, a file open window pops up, to open a WinEDT macro file (and there are none). I have also tried to convert to pdf using the pdflatex command. This produces a pdf document, though all my graphs and references have errors (and therefore are missing in the final document). This is my first time using the message board, so let me know if I need to give more details. Thanks, Mary I remember seeing a similar message a while ago. If you're the first time user, I recommend to search the group first. There is always a chance somebody else already ran into the same problem. Sorry can't help with more than that since I'm not using WinEDT, though I do use Miktex. mwallerwpdb@yahoo.com wrote: > I am using WinEDT and Miktex, and am rec...

Problems converting PDF to PDF/A with ghostscript
I am running Ghostscript 8.71 on Windows. I have tried just about every combination of switches and ICC profiles. The command that seems to work the best is as follows: gswin32 -dPDFA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIEColor - sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -sDEVICE=pdfwrite - sOutputFile=out_pdfa.pdf input_pdf.pdf This yields a seemingly valid PDF/A-1b (CMYK) for most files. I am able to open the files in acrobat and successfully validate the conformity of the document to the aforementioned PDF/A standard. Certain files do not pass the PDF/A conformity validation in Acrobat, despite the note in Acrobat stating the file is being viewed in PDF/A mode. The preflight test reports the following error: CIDset in subset font is incomplete ArialBoldItalicMT 14.112 pt TrueType (CID) embedded (as a subset) If I convert the offensive input_pdf.pdf file using Acrobat by printing to the Adobe PDF printer and selecting the PDF/A-1b (CMYK) standard the output PDF passes the preflight without any errors. Does anyone have any suggestions for consistently producing valid PDF/ A-1b (CMYK) documents with Ghostscript? Cheers!

Compression Problem for PS to PDF Convert with GSView4.5 + Ghostscript 8.11
I am having difficulty compressing files during a MS Word to .prn (postscript file) to PDF conversion when using GSView 4.5 and Ghostscript 8.11. I can create PDF files themselves without a problem, but regardless of what settings I use in the GSView 4.5 Convert window, the PDF file size is the same. I start by taking a MS Word document and then printing it to a .prn file using an HP postscript driver. I then open it up in GSView 4.5 and <Convert> then <pdfwrite>. In the Convert window I have a number of resolution choices (72, 300, 600, 720), but I don't get a file size difference between files that are supposed to be converted at 72 and 720. When I try to adjust the Properties (Compatability Level, CompressPages, UseFlateCompression) it won't "remember" the settings. For example, I could set CompressPages to "true", then click <OK>, but if I then open the Properties window again to re-confirm the settings I can see that they have reset themselves to "default". I also tried editting the settings to force it to remember that I selected compatability 1.4 and CompressPages true, which it does "remember" when I open the Properties window again, but still I don't see any difference in the resulting PDFs' file sizes. The file I'm testing it with is a mostly text MS Word '97 document that has a couple pages with some near-full page greyscale .jpgs. [I am thrilled just to be able to create PDF...
Converting PDF to Postscript
Hi, Is there anyway to use GhostScript to convert a PDF in to Postscript? If not what tools are out there that allow you do do this from a command line with no interaction?

The pdf2ps script uses the pswrite device, a level 1 PostScript output device. You will get better results (considerably better) by using the ps2write device, which outputs level 2 PostScript instead. Unless you require DSC conformance or level 1 output you should use ps2write instead. The ps2ps2 script will do this and despite the name works for PDF input as well as PostScript input.

Font problem converting PDF...
I'm trying to use Ghostscript 8.54 to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. However, when I run this command: gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=outfile.jpg -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH infile.pdf This gives me an error dump (see end of this message). Has anyone seen this before? Based on experimentation, I think the problem may have something to do with the fact that there's an embedded OpenType Futura font in the PDF. Does something special need to be done to get Ghostscript to properly use embedded fonts? Do I need to change something in my Fontmap files? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There are two ways to accomplish what you have requested using Ghostscript. If you want to convert a multipage PDF file into multiple jpeg files then you can use "%d" as part of the output file name specification. I. e. gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=output%d.jpg input.pdf -c quit If you want to select a range of pages from a PDF file then use the -dFirstPage and -dLastPage switches. I. e. to select only page 5: gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=page5.jpg -dFirstPage=5 -dLastPage=5 input.pdf -c quit Both of these methods are described in the doc/Use.htm file that came with your Ghostscript distribution. >>>>> "laredotornado" =3D=3D laredotornado <laredot...

Size problem with GSview converting to PDF
Hi All.. I am using GSView v 4.4 and it wokrs great for converting an MS Word document to PDF - but one small problem. The actual document size seems to be slightly smaller once converted. - e.g. I am doing ad copy for a newspaper in MS Wordfor a specific size (3.5x 4.5 inches). I print the document to a PS file using HP Color laser Jet 5500 PS print driver and then use GSView to convert to a PDF. The printed PDF version is just slightly smaller than the version printed directly from MS Word. Is there a way to adjust the sizing onthe conversion? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Convert to PDF (without PostScript) -- How is it Possible?
When someone explained to me what a PDF is, I came to understand that a PDF is essentially a "distilled" PostScript file. So to create one, you need to "print" to a PostScript printer driver, then "distill" the resulting postscript file with a PostScript interpreter, like Acrobat Distiller or Ghostscript. But OpenOffice can convert to PDF without PostScript. It just does it, and I can't imagine how. WordPerfect Office Suite has "Publish to PDF." You just click and a PDF happens. And there are other programs that perform similarly. None of ...
convert jpg to pdf: resolution problem?
Hello all, I'm wondering how to control the resolution of PDF when converting something to a PDF. (Actually, I'm not sure if I'm asking a right question in the first place. . . .) I'm using the "convert" command of "ImageMagick 5.4.4 04/05/02" on Debian Linux 3.0r5. When you convert a PostScript file containing a bitmap image, the image in the resultant PDF seems to have a lower resolution than the original in the PostScript. (The image in the PDF is blurred.) But, if you convert the PostScript to a PDF using the "ps2pdf" command, which comes with "GNU Ghostscript 6.53 (2002-02-13)", the image in the PDF is as crisp as the original. Well, you might say, "Use ps2pdf, then." :) Yes, but 1) I'm curious as to who decides the resolution when and why (Why does the convert dommand decide to "reduce" the resolution?). When I use some application such as MS Word and save the result as a PDF, I don't remember being asked to specify the resolution. If resolution matters, why am I not asked to specify it? 2) it would be nice if you can use a single command to do every image conversion. The "convert" command is close to that. Thank you, Ryo ...

WinEDT/Miktex problem to convert to PDF
I am using WinEDT and Miktex, and am recently having trouble converting to a pdf document. I was running the same document on another computer and everything was working-I moved and reinstalled the programs, and now I am not able to get a pdf document. I can compile (in LaTeX, not TeX) and get a dvi. I can also convert dvi to ps. Though when I try to convert ps2pdf I get an error (\undefinedfilename in (\(MSc thesis\)). What is also different between running it on my newest installation is that I do not have a ps2pdf button on the WinEDT tool bar. I tried to insert one by going to Menu Setup -- double clicking on accessories - inserting macro ps2pdf - and assigning it to the appropriate button. Though, when I try to use the button, a file open window pops up, to open a WinEDT macro file (and there are none). I have also tried to convert to pdf using the pdflatex command. This produces a pdf document, though all my graphs and references have errors (and therefore are missing in the final document). This is my first time using the message board, so let me know if I need to give more details. Thanks, Mary I remember seeing a similar message a while ago. If you're the first time user, I recommend to search the group first. There is always a chance somebody else already ran into the same problem. Sorry can't help with more than that since I'm not using WinEDT, though I do use Miktex. mwallerwpdb@yahoo.com wrote: > I am using WinEDT and Miktex, and am rec...
