| http://aspalliance.com/1447_Creating_PDFs_with_C_using_Ghostscript.4 | 11:24.59 |
| I followed this procedure to install "Ghostscript Pdf" driver to create postscript file | 11:25.30 |
| It generated postscript file but with incomplete data | 11:25.48 |
| like border and table are not visible | 11:26.01 |
| Its happening with some ms word files | 11:27.19 |

artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Firstly, you don't 'convert PostScript to Ghostscript' | 11:54.46 |
| <KenSharp> Ghostscript is a PostScript interpreter. | 11:54.55 |
| <KenSharp> I'm going to assume your problem is in creating a PDF file from a PostScript program, and that the PostScript program is created from Some kind of document, presumably (given the .inf file) on Windows. | 11:55.49 |
| <KenSharp> My guess would be your problem is actually with the application generating the PostScript. | 11:56.25 |
| <KenSharp> For our purposes, sending the .docx file is no help. You need to capture the PostScript being produced by the application. | 11:57.29 |
AshishGehlot95 | I have postscript file. I configured Ghostscript Pdf via inf file that creates postscript file | 12:01.52 |
| and its try my last intension is to convert this ps file to pdf | 12:02.06 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Well what you posted on Google driver was not a PostScript profgram, it was a docx file. | 12:02.13 |
AshishGehlot95 | Yes, Because I have only issue with docx file printing. When I print from other apps like adobe it works file but when we print from docx then some of its content gets hide. I have attached sample file in which I have issue | 12:03.28 |
| let me attach generated postscript file as well | 12:03.40 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> There is no point in supplyign a .docx file, Ghostscript doesn't accept that as an input. You need to supply the PostScript program | 12:04.06 |
AshishGehlot95 | https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o4XR9JbWZFrtVzUTXmM3S2U56JKP_ZJV/view?usp=sharing | 12:04.46 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Well the preview of that file has no lines in it. | 12:05.13 |
AshishGehlot95 | Yes, Thats the issue | 12:05.28 |
| I configured virtual printer dirver from this file | 12:06.00 |
| "C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.53.3\lib\ghostpdf.inf" | 12:06.00 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Then I suggest you complain to Microsoft. The PostScript is not produced by us it is produced either by the application reading the .docx file (presumably Microsoft Word) or by the Windows Printing System. | 12:06.17 |
AshishGehlot95 | Can you please suggest me any other postscript based pdf creator so I can verify your statement ? | 12:07.19 |
| I used adobe pdf | 12:07.30 |
| thats working fine as well as Microsoft print to pdf | 12:07.44 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Harlequin, Jaws PDF Creator, possibly others | 12:07.52 |
| <KenSharp> Given teh PostScript program you posted, Adobe Acrobat Distiller produces the same outptu as GHhostscript | 12:08.40 |
AshishGehlot95 | Adobe Acrobat Distiller creates valid pdf. | 12:08.43 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Yes, and its the same as Ghostscript's output | 12:08.55 |
AshishGehlot95 | Really. Let me check again | 12:09.03 |
| May be I did something wrong | 12:09.17 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> This doesn't look like the original .docx file you produced. | 12:09.27 |
AshishGehlot95 | You are using postscript file to generate PDF. Right ? | 12:12.52 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Yes | 12:12.57 |
| <KenSharp> My Adobe Acrobat Distiller is set to a custom setup based on the prepress settings. | 12:13.26 |
| <KenSharp> Ghostscript was run as | 12:13.34 |
AshishGehlot95 | Yes I have already tested it also tested other. I believe postscript is invalid. | 12:13.38 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> gswin64 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o out.pdf gsoutput.ps | 12:13.46 |
| <KenSharp> The PostScript is not 'invalid' or you would get an error, it merely doesn't contain the content you expect. | 12:14.11 |
AshishGehlot95 | Yes I tried it. It generate pdf without lines( invalid pdf ) | 12:14.12 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> And since that PostScript program is produced either by the application directly (eg Microsoft Word) or by the Windows Printing System, its out of our control and you shoudl complain to Microsoft. | 12:14.45 |
AshishGehlot95 | 2 days back I posted question on "docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers" but didn't got answer. Can you suggest me better way communicate with them ? | 12:17.34 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Well no, I am not employed by Microsoft, and have no special contacts with them. You could try using a different application (eg LibreOffice) or simply export to PDF directly from Word. | 12:18.22 |
| <KenSharp> Or use the Microsoft 'Print to PDF' printer | 12:19.33 |
AshishGehlot95 | ok Kens, Thanks for your support | 12:20.26 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> NP | 12:20.33 |
| <KenSharp> AshishGehlot95 I just tried printing your .docx file from LibreOffice to the Ghostscript printer on FILE: and the PostScript produced by that works as expected | 12:26.41 |
| <KenSharp> SO it looks like your problem is with Microsoft Word, assuming that's what you are using. | 12:26.57 |
| <KenSharp> You might like to try that yourself | 12:27.20 |
AshishGehlot95 | Sure, Will test it. | 12:32.48 |
| https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yFrGji4uOWrOcvEdxAE8nDqjwshquPce/view?usp=sharing | 13:13.59 |
| I tried with libre office but second time testing it creates wrong formatting | 13:14.35 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> The first time was correct ? That sounds odd | 13:15.03 |
| <KenSharp> But not a lot I can say about it | 13:15.08 |
AshishGehlot95 | Yes first time. PDF was fine but after that all output pdf have formatting issues. | 13:16.03 |
| and its shows random behavior | 13:16.36 |
| Sometime page 3's fonts get converted to unreadable font | 13:17.12 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Ah, you mean different documents have problems ? Well that would be down to LibreOffice. The point, really, was that the Windows Printing System seems to be OK, and Ghostscript performs correctly when given correct input, so the problem must reasonably be the application producing the PostScript, which I assume is Microsoft Office. | 13:17.20 |
AshishGehlot95 | No, Same document with different issues | 13:17.53 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Still sounds like LibreOffice then | 13:18.04 |
| <KenSharp> There are other Office document readers, if you really want to you could try those, but the only reason I mentioned it was as evidence that the problem is not Ghostscript | 13:18.53 |
| <KenSharp> We are limited by what we are given, if the PostScript program doesn't contain content, we can't produce it in the output | 13:19.19 |
AshishGehlot95 | Can I trace where Its going wrong ? because No doubt I know Ghostscript is fine but I need something concrete to blame Microsoft Office/ Printing system. | 13:21.05 |
artifexirc-bot | <KenSharp> Not in any way that I know, no. | 13:21.34 |
AshishGehlot95 | ok | 13:22.15 |
