| robin_watts_mac | ray_laptop: Did you try turning it off and on again? | 07:02.36 |
| marcosw_ | scott sure is wearing a silly hat | 10:53.16 |
| Robin_Watts | home again. | 13:01.57 |
| poppiez | hi, I have a problem when converting PDF files. a thin little white line is on the right side of each page. any known bug? | 14:55.10 |
| kens | No | 14:55.17 |
| | But without seeing a file and a command line I can't really comment. I can think of several reasons, none of which are actual bugs | 14:55.48 |
| Robin_Watts | gs or mupdf ? | 14:57.02 |
| poppiez | we use the pdfdraw command | 14:57.17 |
| Robin_Watts | So mupdf. | 14:57.40 |
| | What version of mupdf? | 14:57.47 |
| poppiez | i would assume, yes. | 14:57.49 |
| Robin_Watts | We released 1.0 a week or so ago. | 14:58.01 |
| | I would advise you to try that, and if you have problems, to come back to us with an example file. | 14:58.18 |
| poppiez | will do. | 14:58.43 |
| | isn't it possible to do mupdf -v to get the current version? | 15:01.14 |
| sebras | poppiez: no, there is not -v to mudpf or mudraw (pdfdraw's new name). | 15:12.31 |
| ccb | I found this irc channel on sourceforge.com Is this channel open for help regarding ghostscript? | 16:00.55 |
| | I am converting ps to pdf. The converted pdf is scaled slightly smaller. How do I convert and retain the same scale? | 16:08.25 |
| kens | Its the ghostscript channel, we will offer help, at our discretion ;-) | 16:08.42 |
| | I don't know what you mean when you say 'scaled slightly smaller' | 16:09.06 |
| | pdfwrite will retain the same scale | 16:09.21 |
| ccb | I am using pdfwrite. The margins are, say, .25 or .5 inches larger and the font is about .25 to .5 smaller | 16:11.10 |
| | ...as if the image has slightly shrunk | 16:11.28 |
| kens | Unless you started with an image, then there is no image there. | 16:11.49 |
| ccb | true | 16:11.55 |
| | I am starting with a .ps | 16:12.03 |
| kens | Both PS and PDF are resolution-independent vector formats | 16:12.18 |
| | Are you rendering the PDF and PS files with the same rip ? | 16:12.34 |
| ccb | you just flew over my head | 16:12.44 |
| kens | Well you must be looking at something to say the margins are different. | 16:13.03 |
| | What are you viewing the PDF and PS files with ? | 16:13.11 |
| ccb | the printer. When I print the ps and then print the converted pdf, compare both, I recognize the difference. The reason that I am converting is to stamp something on the pdf | 16:14.08 |
| kens | Your printer accepts PDF as an input ? | 16:14.29 |
| | If you are opening the PDF in an application and printing from thjere, then that is almost certainly where the scaling is applied. | 16:15.11 |
| | If you are printing from Acrobat turn off 'shrink to fit' | 16:15.22 |
| | Or any similarly named option | 16:15.32 |
| ccb | Ok. I will look at that. Thanks very much | 16:15.56 |
| kens | NP | 16:16.03 |
| | off for dinner now, bye all. | 16:16.11 |
| malc_ | Robin_Watts: hello | 18:19.33 |
| Robin_Watts | malc_: Hello. | 19:52.33 |
| malc_ | Robin_Watts: http://www.mccme.ru/edu/vassiliev/IQ.pdf the letters jump in funny ways when dpi is changed.. on page 3 the footnote in english 'p' for instance | 19:53.31 |
| Robin_Watts | I smell a type3 font. | 19:54.06 |
| malc_ | yep | 19:54.46 |
| Robin_Watts | I was at a business meeting for the past 2 days, and I've just got back from seeing my dad after a hip-op in hospital, so I'm knackered. | 19:55.41 |
| | I'll try and look tomorrow. | 19:55.46 |
| | but I suspect it's a subpixel alignment problem. | 19:56.01 |
| malc_ | a meeting that lasts 2 days.. i do not envy you | 19:56.15 |
| Robin_Watts | and unless it used to work, and now it doesn't, I doubt there is huge scope for fixing it. | 19:56.26 |
| | We only have meetings once a quarter, so it's not too bad. | 19:56.50 |
| malc_ | no idea whether it worked, it sure does not jump with xpdf derived things (which should make tor motivated i think) | 19:56.57 |
| Robin_Watts | And this time the meeting wasn't at the end of a long haul flight :) | 19:56.59 |
| malc_ | heh | 19:57.20 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: everything on page 3 seems to be type3. | 20:28.56 |
| | oh, and yeah that's for the logs rather than right now. | 20:29.12 |
| | and the footnote has a correct baseline in mupdf 0.9. | 20:30.23 |
| | Robin_Watts: bisecting gives that this is the offending commit f08f46797df8d6cca982c08ed16eb1934b1dc7d9 | 20:43.13 |
| | Robin_Watts: though I ought to send it to tor8... ;) | 20:43.28 |
| malc_ | sebras: ta[ck]k | 20:44.01 |
| sebras | malc_: tack in swedish. :) | 20:44.22 |
| | you're welcome. | 20:44.27 |
| malc_ | sebras: the last name is too nordic-generic for me to deduce the real origin, unskyld (though it's deinitely no/da) about that | 20:45.21 |
| sebras | malc_: part of my family is danish (family name endings in -en are common there, as opposed to -on in sweden), but I was born in and live in .se. :) | 20:47.22 |
| malc_ | sebras: the only place in .se i was in was transit in Arlanda.. bastards disallow smoking, so it was rather unpleasant experience.. | 20:48.16 |
| sebras | malc_: I'm afraid that this applies to most airports I've been to, except in .cn. | 20:48.57 |
| malc_ | sebras: there were definitely royking places in Oslo airport | 20:49.36 |
| sebras | malc_: surprisingly if I checkout mupdf master, revert that commit and resolve conflicts then the footnote on the page 3 is still drawn badly. | 20:54.08 |
| | but at least we have an indication of where to start now. | 20:54.34 |
| malc_ | sebras: "we" is rather strong term :) you might, i have no clue and deffer this to masters | 20:54.58 |
| sebras | I meant we as in the artifex employees, and to a lesser extent myself (I'm not familiar with this part of the source). | 20:55.46 |
| malc_ | and the leason to be learned from this is this - natural languages suck | 20:56.40 |
| marcosw_ | Robin_Watts: what was the video game trailer you were watching on Tuesday? | 21:50.25 |
| | Robin_Watts: never mind, spent 15 minutes with the google machine and couldn't find it. Ask you on irc and find it 30 seconds later. | 21:51.21 |
| malc_ | marcosw_: which one was it? | 21:51.59 |
| marcosw_ | Perpetual Testing Initiative | 21:52.04 |
| malc_ | that's a mouthfull | 21:52.17 |
| marcosw_ | it's new content for Portal 2 | 21:53.09 |
| malc_ | ah, too bad i can't play Portal 2 | 21:55.03 |
| marcosw_ | and why are unable to play Portal 2? | 21:55.16 |
| malc_ | because sony has removed other os support from PS3 and i refuse to update the firmware ever since, and newer games seem to want that | 21:56.04 |
| | (new fw) | 21:56.09 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2012/05/03)>>> | |
