Summary0008326: PDF is corrupt
DescriptionI can't make a good pdf from my 8-page color newsletter. I can send it directly to the printer, using my HP DeskJet 930C, and that turns out OK, but I need a good pdf for the printer. The pdf I generate drops whole sections of pictures and text. GSView 4.9 reports post scrip errors, but I can't tell what they are and how to fix them. Here's the text:

Last OS error: No such file or directory
pdf_page failed

Acroread displays the same corrupt image as GS.
Steps To ReproduceTried changing PDF versions and loads of other variables, without positive results.
Additional InformationI don't know how to upload an entire folder, or even more than one file. So I will upload the pdf in a separate report.
TagsNo tags attached.

Compress it

> or even more than one file
You can upload more than one file by going to the bug report after opening it and you'll see an "Upload file" section

> So I will upload the pdf in a separate report
Please do not open a separate report for that

Sorry for my ignorance. I hope the new attachments are OK. I did not include the pdf, because it exceeds the file size of 5mb.

I think I'm still not getting how to compress. When I "gather," I would normally expect that all the supporting files (pix, etc) would be put together with the main file in a single, sendable folder.

Thank you. This is a new, smaller file, cut to three pages. It behaves the same way when I try to make the pdf. It looks fine when I preview it for the printer.

I was able to print a .ps to file then convert it via GS to a pdf, and it worked just fine. I'm sure this is a good hint as to where to look for the bug.

Thanks, i was able to reproduce the issue without your new files. It is now fixed in 1.3.5.1svn (or 1.3.6svn, i don't know yet how we will call the next release based on 1.3.5 branch). Anyway an updated build will be available on sourceforge at the end of the week.
