[bug-pcl] Papersize bigger than A3

[Arne Hinniger]

Hi Everyone,

i'm trying to convert hpgl2-Plot files to PDF with Ghostpcl on a Linux
Machine. It works quite good, bu i'm having problems with bigger formats.

The following i tried without success:

-g<w>x<h>	produces Letter format, no matter what i enter for <g> and <h>

-J'@PJL SET PAPERLENGTH=xxxxx' and -J'@PJL SET PAPERWIDTH=xxx' are ignored
and produce Letter Format

-J'@PJL SET PAPER=Ax' (with x smaller than 3) gives PDF results Letter,
Paper Size is not recognized

The only Difference between -PRTL and -PPCL5E is, that PCL5E ist turned in a
90° Angle

I'm enclosing the Plotfile, which is a little bigger than A3-landscape
because of the margins. Is there a way to set the margins to zero?

I'm using the follwing script:

# Variable DATE setzen
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`

# Verzeichniss angeben wo die PS-Dateien landen sollen
# ANPASSEN!!!!
Outdir="/home/www/pdf/"
OUTprint="$Outdir$USER $DATE.pdf"
echo "$OUTprint $DATE" >> joblist.txt

# testen ob im Handbetrieb mit Datei oder von cups
if test -z "$1"; then
   infile="-"
else
    infile="$1"
fi

# Umwandlung PCL5 in PS
# Eventuell Quellpass anpassen!!
/usr/local/bin/pcl6 -PPCL5E -g3400x2400 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutput
File="$Outprint" $infile


Thanks for your Help,
