[bug-gs] GhostScript (ps2pdf) and serverdict begin 0 exitserver command

[Belen Ibarrondo]

Dear All,,

I am a new Ghostscript user and within my first implementation I am having a problem while trying to convert a Postscript (PS) file to a PDF format using the  ps2pdf command.

The problem is the following message

     C:\gs7.04\gs7.04\lib>ps2pdf pruebatodo.ps pruebatodo.pdf
     Error: /invalidaccess in /exitserver
     Operand stack:

     Execution stack:
        %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval-
     -   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   fa
     lse   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   .runexec
     2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --
     nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--
     Dictionary stack:
        --dict:1007/1123(ro)(G)--   --dict:0/20(G)--   --dict:67/200(L)--   --dict:6/
     10(L)--
     Current allocation mode is local
     Current file position is 335
     AFPL Ghostscript 7.04: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


As far as I could see this is caused bye command  "serverdict begin 0 exitserver" included in the PS file.  This command in included in the file whenever I   use Postscript fonts instead of True Type.  If I manually remove this command from the PS file the conversion is done with no problem at all.

Is there any workaround for this issue? Does anyone have a clue to solve it?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
