I am now trying to convert an old open source Metafont font into modern OTF format, and one intermediate step I used was Metapost that converted each glyph into its individual postscript file. One particular glyph started with:0 0 0 setrgbcolor 0 50.47063 dtransform truncate idtransform setlinewidth popwhich means that a default CTM must have been referred to, but I am not sure what is the value here.Another thing is that "concat" is applied immediately prior to "stroke", and I am not sure if I should interpret it as: coordinates for paths are in one space, while that for pen is in another.

Hello, I have a question about an EPS file from which I want to read information.This file contains the following:...%%BoundingBox: 13 29 259 113.../bg { 1 -1 scale 13 -113 translate 0.7 0.7 scale } def/cvtx { gsave 1 -1 scale } def/rstx { grestore } def/m { moveto } defgsavebg6 88 mcvtx(MyText) showrstx My question now is, where are the coordinates located? If I convert the EPS to PDF, for example, this point (6 88) is at 4.2 22.4 (/MediaBox [0 0 246 84]), since in PDF the y-axis goes from top to bottom, it would be at 4.2 61.6. Unfortunately, I don't understand how to get to this point by calculation. According to the spec, you multiply the matrices to arrive at a new CTM:newCTM = transformation × originalCTMHowever, if I do this and apply it to 6 88, I arrive at a negative y coordinate.1 -1 scale 13 -113 translate 0.7 0.7 scale => [0.7 0 0 -0.7 13 -113]  with 6 88 => 4.2 -174.6 Could someone please tell me where my mistake lies?Many thanks and bes

Hi AllI have a program that generates a complex report designed for an A3 page (but actually printed on an A4 page and then enlarged in a photocopier because I don't have an A3 printer!) .It accesses data from a database and generates a file of postscript commands (mostly co-ordinates and text) that are then converted (Adobe Distiller) into a pdf file which is then circulated and/or printed.The report maybe a single page or multiple pages depending on how many years (1/page) of data are being printed. Each page has around 700 items (actually names of people in a competition)I now have a requirement to produce the single A3 page as 2 * A4 pages so that the 2 * A4 pages can be viewed as a single A3 when bound into a book faing each other. The easiest way seems to be toCreate the .ps file for the top halfRotate it 90 degreesScale it by 1.414 (X & Y)ShowpageCreate the .ps file for the bottom halfRotate it 90 degreesScale it by 1.414 (X & Y)ShowpageAnd then onto the next year and so

I've had success adding annotation-level JavaScript using PDFMark, but the reference doesn't say how to (or if one can) add document-level JavaScript using PDFMark. It seems like you'd want to add it to the Names dictionary in the JavaScript name tree, or in the Additional Actions dictionary, but I haven't been able to figure out the syntax, and I'm not sure if it's even possible.

I've got the PostScript Language Reference Manual (PLRM), but I understand there's also a PostScript Language Reference Supplement (PLRS). I can't seem to find a copy for download or for purchase. Is it even available anymore?

Hello,I am attempting to generate printer's spreads from a landscape-oriented lettersize booklet. I saved the file as a .PS and dragged it into Distiller. Unfortunately Distiller does not automatically rotate my landscape spreads to fit the default portrait export, so I get a resulting portrait PDF with one of the pages on the spread partially cropped off the page. I did try to circumvent this by going back to my original InDesign spreads and rotating them all 90 degrees clockwise, but the result is still the same upon using Distiller. Is there an option in Distiller settings to export as landscape?Thanks for your comments!Stu

Hi. I have some (around 300) old .ps (Postscript?) files created by screenshotting a technical program running on an old iMac / OS9. They are diagrams that I'd like to be able to print and share. Is there anything out there that can convert .ps to .jpg / .pdf / .png, etc. I don't particularly want to have to subscribe tto anything on a monthly basis - it's hopefulyl a one-time dealio. Thanks, John

I've written a series of lessons for an online graphics class in InDesign, which I've converted to PDFs for posting on the standard Canvas® platform. The pages feature links, images, and highly formatted typography and some objects styles, appropriate to a beginning graphics text.For students who don't have access to computers or printers, I'd like to convert these pages to a single column, as many periodicals do.   Basically, reflowing the text and dropping in the images with captions and relinking would do the job.  The next level would be a retaining the typography, with line breaks determined by user window settings (on mobile devices). This, given the basic text edit box in Canvas, may already be a bridge too far.  Even keeping images and captions together appropriate to accompanying text may be beyond Canvas, so is there a free service which students could access which would host and display the continuous column version?  The cherry on top would be to ha

We are trying to print 36" wide x 120" long "blueprint" on a Ricoh W3601 wide format printer, and the 36 disappears in the first box when we start to type in the 120 in the second box.  WIN 10 64 bit PC. Customer says they use to be able to do it without issues.Other Ricoh drivers we tried hold the data in both boxes. I'm not sure where to begin to fix it for this driver.

Is there a way to import a pdf image to word that looks good?

I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf. Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file. The log file contains following text: This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file. Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted. %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% 1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ? I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf. 2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf. 3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to pdf. 4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can programatically using Distiller Api's for conversion to pdf. Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc. Thanks in advance.

I am attempting to include a degree symbol data displayed using a courier font.  Is there a way to this to be implemented?Currently degree displays as shown below. 

Hello  We all know that Adobe will not be supporting PostScript fonts from the start of year 2023. Now I am already familiar with this link where Adobe explains it all (https://helpx.adobe.com/ch_de/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html). However, we still have some questions: — Will we still be able to open InDesign- and Illustrator, Photoshop-Files that contain PostScript-Fonts?— If yes, will we be able to edit for example a text-box in InDesign, which contains a PostScript-Font? Will we be able to click in it and change the font? Or will the box not be locked. — Can we keep an older version of InDesign etc. for opening those files? If yes, which is the latest version, which supports PostScript-Fonts? Why'm I asking this? If we still can operate on those files, although they contain PostScript-Fonts, then we don't have to go through all of our files to search for those fonts. If we cannot open them, we have to go through all of our clients and

Hi, I am facing an issue while adding a Postscript Level 2 'plotter' in Autocad. In the past, I have used it to plot drawings in '.eps' format (plotting to file). The issue is that after successfully installing the plotter from AutoCad's 'add a plotter wizard', the postscript level 2 plotter doesn't show up in the list of plotters.I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question, so please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

I run the an agencies print shop and we use overlays that are stored on two Ricoh Pro 8220 S printers.  Nobody I've spoken to at Ricoh or with our maintenance vendor have any idea as to how we are writing to the hard drive on the printers.  The problem I have is that the PostScript driver I have is so old, it won't install on Windows 10.  I'm trying to "Print" a Word Document to a Postscript file so I can save it to each printer for a new version of a letter.  Any help is appreciated.  I need to be able to select the PostScript print driver from the printers menu and write the PostScript file.
