| jogux | hmm. actually I forget to ask where breakfast actually is :) | 01:06.30 |
| paulgardiner_lap | In the enclosed square of the hotel that we look over from the lifts | 01:10.20 |
| jogux | wonders if mupdf is 64bit safe. | 01:10.27 |
| robin_watts_mac | It is. | 01:11.00 |
| | well... on what platform? | 01:11.18 |
| | actually, i think it should be safe everywhere. | 01:11.39 |
| jogux | yeah, it's okay... the 32bit build dies in exactly the same way | 01:13.05 |
| | paul: ah, great, thanks :) | 01:13.24 |
| | maybe I've broken something (though I've only been fiddling in iOS code)... or xcode6 has. It died in DERROR(typeerror, TypeError) with an access violation for address=0xfffffffc during pdf_new_js. | 01:16.32 |
| robin_watts_mac | jogux: There are various different implementations of pdf_new_js | 01:21.26 |
| | depending on which js engine you are using. | 01:21.35 |
| | chrisl recommended the cornetto style ice creams from the gift shop. He was right. | 01:22.08 |
| jogux | I just pressed run in xcode ;) I'll check more tomorrow, I may have done something stupid. | 01:22.14 |
| robin_watts_mac | oh, gawd, I have no idea how old the xcode project is. | 01:22.34 |
| jogux | you really take this 'not dieting on trips' business seriously | 01:22.42 |
| robin_watts_mac | I set one up years (literally) ago. | 01:22.48 |
| | calories in a different time zone don't count. | 01:22.57 |
| jogux | robin: I'm sure it worked last time I tried it, and that it's what we use to release for the app store :-) | 01:23.00 |
| chrisl | robin_watts_mac: given how seldom I have ice cream, if I recommend it, it ought to be good...... ;-) | 01:23.05 |
| robin_watts_mac | oh, sorry, is this the ios build? I deny all responsibility then. | 01:23.42 |
| | And my laundry has arrived, so I can go to bed. | 01:24.06 |
| jogux | yeah, ios :) | 01:25.38 |
| | although it seems to have selectable targets for "my mac" in the project. not sure if that is deliberate... | 01:26.04 |
| Terminus- | hello. i'm trying to use ghostscript to convert pdfs to png. i've tried the -r300 option which is supposed to specify | 02:25.44 |
| | hello. i'm trying to use ghostscript to convert pdfs to png. i've tried the -r300 option which is supposed to make it 300dpi but when i check with identify (imagemagick), it says it's 118.11 dpi. is there anyway to get it to be 300 dpi and adjust print size depending on geometry? | 02:33.18 |
| | hmmm... i guess this would be problematic if the geometry isn't divisible by 300 along both the x and y axis. | 02:35.14 |
| kens | ROFL, Robin_Watts "Flame on!" | 11:57.37 |
| robin_watts_mac | kens: Just making my case... | 12:04.26 |
| reteko | hello | 16:41.16 |
| ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 16:41.16 |
| reteko | I'm having issues when using pdf2ps | 16:41.38 |
| | the problem occurs when I try to convert a pdf file in landscape | 16:43.17 |
| | anybody knows which options should I pass to pdf2ps in order to correctly create the landscape .ps file? | 16:43.59 |
| kens | reteko, we'll need to see the PDF file, and know which version of Ghostscript you are using | 16:46.29 |
| reteko | version 9.15 | 16:46.46 |
| kens | You also haven't said what your 'issues' are. | 16:46.51 |
| reteko | the pdf is in landscape format | 16:46.57 |
| | when I convert it using pdf2ps, the ps file turns into portrait format | 16:47.24 |
| | therefore some contents of the page are automatically cut | 16:47.38 |
| kens | I take it you are sending the pOSTsCRIPT TO A PRINTER ? | 16:48.55 |
| reteko | yes | 16:49.05 |
| kens | And the printer has landscape media ? | 16:49.22 |
| reteko | yes | 16:49.29 |
| kens | Then it should work. | 16:49.42 |
| | Assuming the landscape tray is the default one. | 16:50.02 |
| reteko | if I open the ps file with gsview it shows the document as being portrait | 16:50.03 |
| kens | reteko haven'stion; whit answered the question as to which version of Ghostscript you are using. | 16:50.55 |
| | Yu can't rely on GSView Iin my opinion | 16:51.08 |
| | As it will process teh DSC comments | 16:51.16 |
| reteko | but if I send the ps to the printer, it prints the document as shown in gsview | 16:51.42 |
| kens | We are all in a meeting at the moment, your best bet is probably to open a bug report and attach the PDF file to it. | 16:51.56 |
| | And state what version of Ghostscript you are using | 16:52.19 |
| reteko | ok, I'll do that | 16:52.52 |
| | thanks for you help :) | 16:52.58 |
| | bye | 16:53.08 |
| joelkuiper | Hey! | 21:51.20 |
| | So I have a document which I'd like to convert to PDF/A, however the original document has text ... the resulting document doesn't | 21:52.20 |
| | which, albeit probably correct, doesn't sit well with my own archival purposes ... since now I just have images . | 21:52.40 |
| | is there a way to avoid this? | 21:52.48 |
| robin_watts_mac | joelkuiper: What version of gs are you using? | 21:53.37 |
| kens | joelkuiper sounds like you are using an old version of Ghostscript, but it could be that you have a PDF file which uses fonts in a way which we don't support, or which cannot be embedded in a PDF/A file. Can you post the file where we can look at it please ? Also we need the command line and version of Ghostscript | 21:57.04 |
| joelkuiper | kens: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l61yoref1bwb2hl/Albagha%20OM%20-%20Nat%20Genet%20-%202010.pdf?dl=0 the file | 21:57.50 |
| kens | Might be the CIDFont, code2000, is that the text causing you problems ? | 21:59.15 |
| joelkuiper | version 9.07, commandline args gs -q -dPARANOIDSAFER -dSAFER -dNOOUTERSAVE -dPDFA=2 -sPDFACompatibilityPolicy=1 -dFastWebView -dUseCIEColor -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite | 21:59.36 |
| | kens: could be, it's weird though; it does say it replaced all the fonts with, proper,substitudes ... but the resulting file is just images | 22:00.09 |
| kens | Where do you see the problem ? This is a 13 page file.... | 22:00.17 |
| joelkuiper | everywhere, first to last ... this is what I get when I run it https://www.dropbox.com/s/2zllgabf4vr9dl2/out.pdf?dl=0 | 22:00.55 |
| kens | current code (9.15) produces a 1 Mb PDF file which contains fonts. | 22:03.11 |
| joelkuiper | ah could be that the issue was fixed between 9.07 and 9.15 then, let me check that | 22:03.35 |
| kens | If you use 9.15 then do not set -dUseCIEColor or -dProcessColorModel. nstead use -sColorConversionStrategy | 22:04.15 |
| | Hmm, I think -sPDFACompatabilityPolicy should be -d, not -s | 22:07.51 |
| | The docs don't say, which is an oversight, it should be -d I'm fairly sure | 22:09.11 |
| joelkuiper | it appears the bug was fixed somewhere between 9.07 and 9.15, so that's good! | 22:12.57 |
| | makes more sense if was a -d, got the -s from this stackoverflow question http://stackoverflow.com/a/9343820 | 22:14.14 |
| | but in general the documentation of the flags is ... spotty ;-) | 22:14.33 |
| kens | Integers use -d, names use -s, since its an integer I'd suggest -d | 22:14.36 |
| | We're travelling at present or I'd check | 22:14.54 |
| | documentation is not my strong suit | 22:15.41 |
| joelkuiper | hehe, it's never fun to do :p it's an excelent piece of software though ... so I have no problem with some digging | 22:16.25 |
| | just checking sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK is correct? | 22:19.03 |
| kens | -s | 22:23.47 |
| | I thnk CMYK is teh correct setting | 22:24.02 |
| | Hmm if that throws an error (I hitnk it will) try /CMYK | 22:24.48 |
| joelkuiper | it didn't, so cool ... in the end it was just running an old version :-) | 22:25.15 |
| | Thanks for all the help! | 22:25.19 |
| kens | NP glad to hear its working | 22:25.29 |
| kens | heads to hotel room | 22:25.39 |
| mvrhel_laptop | robin_watts_mac: thanks again for the tea. have a great flight back | 22:39.36 |
| robin_watts_mac | mvrhel_laptop: Np. You too. | 22:41.15 |
| marcosw | the cost of internets on airplanes has gone down to $2/hour (and you don't need to use the hour all at once). The speed is reasonable at 20 Mbps down though the ping time is ~700 ms and up is only 0.25 Mbps. | 23:21.22 |
| | I can even ssh to my machine at home. oddly the lag between typing a character and seeing on the screen isn't that annoying. | 23:22.32 |
| joelkuiper | marcosw: it's the reason they invented vim ;-) | 23:47.16 |
| | marcosw: or ed, vi ... rather. The idea to create a language for manipulation over /really/ slow connections | 23:47.51 |
| marcosw | joelkuiper: yes, I remember using 1200 baud modems... | 23:48.49 |
| joelkuiper | marcosw: hehe good times, sometimes it seems that all the old is new again with "mobile" | 23:49.35 |
