I am making great progress on textual PDF files, but I just got an error on a PDF file with a JPEG diagram. Attached is the dump. Am I missing something for JPEG processing?Error: /ioerror in --DCTDecode-- Operand stack: --dict:4/4(L)-- false false --dict:11/15(L)-- -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 2 1 1 --nostringval-- %for_pos_int_continue -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- -- nostringval-- %array_continue --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- %loop_continue -- nostringval-- 378 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- -- nostringval-- %array_continue 7 11 %oparray_pop -- nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1102/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- -- dict:75/200(L)-- --dict:75/200(L)-- --dict:97/127(ro) (G)-- --dict:229/230(ro)(G)-- --dict:19/24(L)-- -- dict:4/6(L)-- --dict:22/31(L)-- --dict:1/1(ro)(G)-- -- dict:7/17(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: No such file or directory
Thanks to GhostGum for helping me get the fonts going. I have been using the pdf2ps.bat and ps2pdf.bat files to convert data back and forth, but have been having some "data quality" issues. If I take a "simple" PDF file and run the pdf2ps, the resulting ps file doesn't look too good, and when I run ps2pdf on it, it looks really fuzzy in my Adobe Acrobat, and I can no longer "touch up" anything. If I take my original PDF file and use Adobe Acrobat to export it as PostScript, the ps2pdf process generates a PDF file that is nicely viewable in Acrobat, and can be touched up.It appears that the pdf2ps process is not generating a very good PS file. Any experience with this?
I am a new user of GhostScript. Unfortunately, I am running on a Win2k environment (instead of a more compatible Unix environment). I have been able to build GhostScript with Borland CBuilder6, with much tweaking to the makefiles for the newer compiler. Now I need to get the "fonts" data for it to process PS files. How/where can I get the font data?Thanks.
