[Gs-dgs-devel] Device JPEG doesn't create a file from different EPSs

[Daniel Bleisteiner]

Hi,

i'm using -sDEVICE=jpeg to create JPEG files from EPSs. For 99% of my EPS
files does this work. But i got 3 EPSs so far where the JPEG simple isn't
created. Here is a sample of my terminal:

Any idea whats going wrong? Or is there any developer i could send the EPS
file for further exploration?

The devive "pdfwrite" can handle those EPSs... it's only "jpeg" which fails.

PS: My earlier question regarding the boundingbox of PDFs is cleared by
now - i use the -g switch to ghostscript!
