[Bug 696814] ghostscript crash rendering PDF from ps2pdf

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696814 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696814#c1 Volker Kuhlmann changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |volker3204@paradise.net.nz --- Comment #1 from Volker Kuhlmann 2011-06-03 23:48:43 UTC --- I narrowed down the problem. It's related to -dUseCIEColor. I use a script ps2pdf-print, which runs ps2pdf for output aimed at high quality printing (and archiving). Hence -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer, which implies -sColorConversionStrategy=UseDeviceIndependentColor, which generates a gs warning GPL Ghostscript 9.00: Set UseCIEColor for UseDeviceIndependentColor to work properly. See /usr/share/ghostscript/9.00/doc/Ps2pdf.htm

echo "(test-gs.pdf)run" | gs GPL Ghostscript 9.00 (2010-09-14) Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file COPYING for details. GS>Processing pages 1 through 1. Page 1 Segmentation fault Exit 139

-dUseCIEColor=false produces a gs warning, but the resulting pdf can be processed by gs, okular, acroread. -dUseCIEColor=true removes the gs warning, but the resulting pdf is hugely(!) bigger (43%), and crashes gs, but shows in okular and acroread. And GPL Ghostscript 8.62 (2008-02-29) (of oS 11.1) So, ghostscript bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
