Question

Acrobat Distiller shows error "limitcheck; OffendingCommand: save" while GhostScript doesn't

I can't create pdf using Distiller from latex (dvi -> [dvips] ->ps) made document. This is simple file drawing tree (attached test.ps) but it uses to many save/restore operations. But Ghostscript (ps2pdf) has no problem with this file. Problem is that publisher requires to use Adobe Distiller with their provided joboptions. This is not a first time I'm having this issue. I want to ask  Distiller developers can they fix it by enlarging limits or implement some configuration where user could set these limits.

 

Here  is my post about that problem for tree creating package https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/984

    The save/restore limit in Adobe PostScript interpreters has been fixed for 35 years, so far as I know. You need to reprogram your PostScript coide to work within well known limits. (Check an appendix of the PSLRM for Adobe's limits).
