| sebras | tor8: Robin_Watts: either that or try to fix the gl build and require that to succeed too. | 06:29.55 |
| lilltiger | kens: I got it to move it coretly now, but the issue is that when sent to gs it resizes it :/ so the printout is too small, like itäs adding margins or something like that | 08:43.40 |
| kens | Send what to GS ? | 08:43.59 |
| lilltiger | the croped PDF, you helpt me yesterday with the offset command | 08:46.58 |
| kens | I can't see any reason why GS would render that other than at A4 | 08:47.17 |
| lilltiger | yhee, that is what is strange, if I take the croped one and send it to my printer it is printed just as it should be, but after i sent it to gs the result is too small | 08:48.27 |
| kens | Sorry I'm not following you at all. what do you mean by 'sent to gs' ? What command line ? | 08:49.26 |
| lilltiger | https://dev.plastprint.se/index.php/DownloadPDF?&design_id=4 | 08:50.12 |
| | this is the file | 08:50.15 |
| kens | Well its not A4 | 08:51.33 |
| | 8.35x10.75 | 08:51.42 |
| lilltiger | gs -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dColorConversionStrategy=/LeaveColorUnchanged -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o 'doc.pdf' -f 'doc2.pdf' | 08:51.48 |
| kens | You know, you don't need to set LeaveColorUnchanged, that's the default.... | 08:53.00 |
| lilltiger | emm, is that inchest the numbers seems very strange to me | 08:53.03 |
| | k | 08:53.32 |
| kens | That's the size of your input file in inches | 08:53.40 |
| lilltiger | indeed a little smaller then an a4 | 08:54.56 |
| kens | Umm, no, differntly sized. | 08:55.11 |
| lilltiger | and i want gs to print it to an a4 without changing the size of it at all | 08:55.17 |
| | 8.3 x 11.7 is an a4 right? | 08:55.34 |
| kens | 8.27x11.69 | 08:55.44 |
| | So yours is wider and shorter | 08:55.53 |
| lilltiger | ok, so i want to print it with croping to an a4 | 08:56.23 |
| kens | And yet, your complaint is cropping ? :-) | 08:56.40 |
| lilltiger | no, resizing | 08:56.52 |
| kens | The command line you've supplied should not resize it | 08:57.10 |
| | Unless you set -dPDFFitPage | 08:57.36 |
| lilltiger | check the link now | 08:57.46 |
| sebras | lilltiger: ehm. lilltiger, you should probably ask whomever manages your website to "inaktiva Joomlas felsökningskonsoll". | 08:58.01 |
| | inaktivera... | 08:58.15 |
| lilltiger | the commans are exactly as i pasted (ecept the file name and that i pass it throught php's exec so escaping etc. but no change of parameters | 08:58.24 |
| kens | Well you've got a totally different media size | 08:58.37 |
| lilltiger | sebras: it's the dev page.. | 08:58.39 |
| kens | 11.69x16.54 which is A3 landscape I think | 08:58.52 |
| lilltiger | sebras: still deactivated now :) | 08:59.50 |
| sebras | lilltiger: ah, I didn't notice that, sorry. :) | 09:00.50 |
| kens | Which one, the 8.35x10.75, or the 11.69x16.54 ? And when you say print what do you mean ? Is this using GS ? | 09:00.59 |
| lilltiger | kens: ohh! that explains it, and yhee you said it was bigger, i actualy did a check to see if the crop was bigger then a4 if so print it to a3! haha | 09:01.50 |
| kens | Well, that would be why it comes out to A3 then | 09:02.10 |
| lilltiger | indeedio ;D | 09:02.21 |
| | now it comes out as a4 | 09:02.28 |
| | and is croped as expected | 09:02.37 |
| kens | OK that's what I see too | 09:02.48 |
| lilltiger | so now I have to find a solution for these products that should fit on an a4 but is just sligtly too large :D | 09:03.45 |
| kens | Well, that one is up to you, no idea what you want to do about that. | 09:04.18 |
| lilltiger | Well either we will have to decrese the size of the printing area allowed on the product, or we have to crop the printing area when they print it to a printer or something like that | 09:05.34 |
| | while we are at it, dow do i sent multiple statements with the -c command= | 09:06.53 |
| | -c "<</PageOffset [{$offset[0]} {$offset[1]}]>>setpagedevice" and -c "<< /.HWMargins [0 0 0 0] /Margins [-75 0] >> setpagedevice" | 09:07.17 |
| | like if i want to send in both of those | 09:07.26 |
| kens | Its PostScript | 09:07.42 |
| | << >> is a dicitonary | 09:07.47 |
| | "/Key <value> are pairs in the dictionary | 09:08.13 |
| | So you just put each key/value pair into the one dictionary | 09:08.29 |
| lilltiger | ahh | 09:08.38 |
| | and the second one already have two, should have seen that :) | 09:09.03 |
| kens | That's how it works, yes | 09:09.19 |
| lilltiger | Thanks for all the help! | 09:11.43 |
| kens | ok | 09:11.54 |
| lilltiger | C++ is so much easier then printing.. ;D | 09:12.05 |
| kens | C++ is an offence against sanity... | 09:12.24 |
| lilltiger | haha ;) | 09:12.32 |
| | personaly I like C++ alot compared to JS and PHP wich is what I work the most in. | 09:13.19 |
| kens | People should code in C or assembly language :-) | 09:13.33 |
| lilltiger | if only all CPU's would follow the same asm instructions! | 09:14.09 |
| sebras | kens: I expected you to advocate for PostScript..? ;) | 09:14.53 |
| kens | PostScript is a write-only language | 09:15.03 |
| | Nobody sane writes code in C | 09:15.12 |
| | Err PostScriotp | 09:15.21 |
| lilltiger | well would be true for both ;) | 09:15.31 |
| kens | is trying to find the 'write in C' song | 09:15.33 |
| | C is easy | 09:15.40 |
| sebras | kens: yes, it's perfect! write-only languages never require code reviews because the code is perfect as it is written. | 09:15.46 |
| kens | C++ is just a way to hide the things you need to know | 09:15.53 |
| lilltiger | that is quite the missconceptions of C++ | 09:16.15 |
| kens | Ah, there we go: | 09:17.58 |
| | https://genius.com/Unattributed-write-in-c-lyrics | 09:17.58 |
| lilltiger | hmm, can gs "overprint" so it keeps the stuff outside the paper margins in the PDF while the pagesize is still a4 | 09:45.30 |
| kens | No | 09:45.45 |
| | Unless the object is at least partially inside the clipping region | 09:46.01 |
| lilltiger | that would actualy do just fine | 09:46.49 |
| kens | That's only for images. If the object is a vector description of a path, ti will be clipped to the page | 09:47.26 |
| lilltiger | :/ | 09:47.34 |
| | was so close to an solution, and then i think of one more thing.. and well guess I cant use GS then :/ | 09:48.16 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: hah. not seen that before. | 11:43.54 |
| kens | ? | 11:44.01 |
| Robin_Watts | Write in C. | 11:44.07 |
| kens | Oh write in C ? | 11:44.08 |
| | I think its pretty old :-) | 11:44.17 |
| kens | lunches | 11:49.53 |
