| julmac | Hi, is there a way to preserve optional content groups with pdfwrite device? We are using gs to rewrite some PDFs, and the layers are getting dropped. | 09:10.57 |
| | My command looks like this: gswin64c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dBATCH -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress "-sOutputFile=Test-GS-Converted.pdf" "Test.pdf" | 09:11.06 |
| kens | Currently no | 09:11.07 |
| julmac | I see, thanks | 09:11.33 |

| tor8 | julmac: why are you rewriting the PDF files? | 09:21.14 |
| julmac | It's a legacy code so I'm not certain, but I think it's because we are getting PDF files trough various integrations and rewrite is used to fix some bugs that occur when we pass them on to a pdf renderer (these images are drawings etc). | 09:24.57 |
| | But I guess I'll have to find another way to fix these errors. | 09:25.26 |
| kens | Well if all you are doing is rendering the PDF< Ghostscript can do that for you in a single step | 09:25.39 |
| | No need to rewriote the PDF and then render that. | 09:25.55 |
| | But I have to go for a couple of hours. | 09:26.05 |
| tor8 | julmac: mupdf has some tools to rewrite PDF files without changing the content like ghostscript does. | 09:26.08 |
| | julmac: mutool clean and mutool clean with the -s option | 09:26.30 |
| | see http://mupdf.com/docs/manual-mutool-clean.html | 09:27.00 |
| julmac | Thanks, I will try mupdf | 09:27.09 |
| | kens it's little more complicated than that, we have a ccms product and these pdfs that I'm rewriting are only part of the final pdf output. | 09:28.06 |
| Robin_Watts | julmac: Right, so your final output is a pdf file, not a "rendered" (i.e. bitmap) file. | 09:28.36 |
