| cmh1234 | Can anyone help with the following error? "**** File has unbalanced q/Q operators (too many Q's) ****" | 17:27.38 |
| | ghostscript 9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.10 installed on an ubuntu 14.04 system | 17:27.51 |
| chrisl | cmh1234: What do you want to know? | 17:29.45 |
| cmh1234 | hello chris, why the error occurs and what can be done to resolve it | 17:32.50 |
| chrisl | cmh1234: Um, the error occurs because of what it says "unbalanced q/Q operators (too many Q's)". It means your PDF is broken | 17:34.09 |
| | You can resolve it by not using broken PDF files.... | 17:34.23 |
| | FWIW, it's likely that the rendered output is still as intended | 17:38.24 |
| cmh1234 | "You can resolve it by not using broken PDF files" ha. i wish it were that easy. these aren't our pdfs and the customer has uploaded thousands of them. | 17:43.32 |
| | regardless, thank you for your help. | 17:43.39 |
| chrisl | cmh1234: Well, we try to do what Acrobat does, and give a best guess at what a broken file is supposed to look like. It's just, unlike Acrobat (normally), we try to warn you there was a problem | 17:45.52 |
| cmh1234 | Gotcha. Yeah the problem is trying to determine which PDF is considered broken in this haystack. | 17:51.21 |
