My problem with the pollution of /tmp by the rogue ghostscript process came about because I was trying to make a PDF out of a PNG and the process hung and the machine hung and I had to reboot.... You saw the consequences. John was insightful This PNG is 1860 x 2048, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced. I tried printing via opening this with gwenview using its 'print image' with the print to PDF option. This is a pretty large and non-standard aspect ratio. It is a sizeable mindmap. unless you've got a large rotary printer this isn't going to be readable as a single sheet. Its readable at "B2" size. I have a number of reasons for wanting to have this in another format. Perhaps it might be smaller than its current 3Meg! PDF can be protected in a number of ways. Any other suggestions for how I can render this?
