[mac-gs] 7.07 gives invalid colorspace error...

[Michael Geary]

hi Folks,

I'm trying to find a forum for general GS command-line questions. I'm 
running on OS 10.2.6, and have generally had good experiences with GS. 
However...

I have a two PDF with a couple of gradients. I am appending the 
documents together with:

%gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 
-sOutputFile=merged.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf

I was using AFPL GS 7.33 beta, but the PDFs would come out of this 
process with something changed. The filesize went down substantially, 
and in Acrobat I get a lot of white lines across the gradient. However, 
the file prints just fine.

ANYway, at the suggestion of Leonard Rosenthal, a great PDF wizard, I 
downgraded to GNU GS 7.07. The install process went fine, BUT I still 
get the same white lines across my gradient, AND I now get errors 
"Invalid Colorspace" when I try to open these documents after running 
them through 7.07.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Is there a better list to post to?

Thanks,

michael geary
