I wrote a C program these days to convert a Truetype font into Type 42 format (without doing any tests). The ps2pdf program (in GPL Ghostscript) generates an "invalidfont" error.Error: /invalidfont in definefont Operand stack: FZSSK--GBK1-0 --dict:10/11(L)-- Font Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- definefont --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- definefont definefont false 1 %stopped_push 2077 1 3 %oparray_pop 2076 1 3 %oparray_pop 2057 1 3 %oparray_pop 1916 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- definefont --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 2005 2 3 %oparray_pop Dictionary stack: --dict:966/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:80/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Current file position is 20175127 GPL Ghostscript 9.26: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1The postscript file generated can be found athttps:/

I have been using a "non PS(postscript) plotter" made by HP for many years.There was no problem in printing from Adobe (photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc) of Windows10or7.I would like to purchase a new plotter this time, but I am wondering whether there is PS Plotter or NonPsPlotter . advice please(The usage is the same, printing from Windows + Adobe).

Please Do Not ask me How to Install Printer Drivers!My specialty is the coding or modifying of Postscript output files, the file extension is (.ps)I am more than happy to assist you with switch printer drawers or adding a barcode that provides instruction to the document inserter.  Example (the instruction could be, pull an insert from anyone one of the 6 trays and insert it into an envelope.

Hi All,         I am trying to install Post Script driver in my PC which has Windows 10 installed. I am getting the following error message every time:This is a very old installation file which we had previously. Does any one know where I can find the latest Post Script installer file for Windows 10  ?

I have a postscript file that has 3 different pages sizes in it, I want to create a pdf that also has all 3 page sizes.  But when I distill it, it takes the first page size for all.  My postscript file has the correct pages sizes for each page defined in it.  Is there a way to create a pdf correctly? 

I have generated encrypted PDF with user and owner password in Java.  Even though both passwords are empty, PDF is asking for password to open PDF.  I have followed 3.5 Encryption section from PDF 1.4 Reference document.  I am unable to pin point whether it's encryption key issue, password encryption or how data stream is encrypted.

Hi Everyone, We have around 7 HP LaserJet M605 printers, and a process breaks pdf files into one page .ps files. While the .ps files are created, the following code is added to the .ps file: currentpagedevice /InputAttributes get 2 get dup null eq { pop } { dup length 1 add dict copy dup /InputAttributes 1 dict dup /Priority [0 1 2 3] put put setpagedevice } ifelse Depending on digit/number in the "get 2 get" line these .ps files are sent to the printer and it correctly prints each paper type from the correct tray -- envelope, letterhead, plain. We just bought new printers LaserJet M608. The same post script code additions mentioned above, does not print the envelope from the correct tray. It wants to print it from the manual tray. I kept changing the "get 2 get" line from 0-4 (4 trays) and still the envelope keeps printing from the manual feed tray. Does anyone know if the attributes for selection of trays are different in M608 printers compared to M605? Do you have any rec

I have a PostScript 3 device. Where can I get the macOS screen font so that I can use them in my application (such as Pages.app)?

Here is my situation.I want to be able to represent the Fonts and their styles of Microsoft Word in a PostScript Program. For example, how can I code a font (for example "Times New Roman") with Bold, Italic and Underlined in postscript? Well, I wish to be able to do this without defining my own font in postscript. That would be a lot of work. My question is, in such a case, is there any postscript command that will help me accomplish the same?

With the advent of and improvements to APPE why are we still using Postscript print drivers when printing to rip servers such as Fiery?

Hi everyone, When I try to use Adobe PDF as a printer, in any software (Indesign, illustrator photoshop, Google Chrome, Office suite) I have this postscript file created %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%Stack:/Font (Courier) /courier%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error.

Adobe Universal Post Script driver coudn't be downloaded. In order to be sure I show that link I tried more times: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/1.x/winstspa.exe There was written :Not FoundThe requested URL /pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/1.x/winstspa.exe was not found on this server.

When any body use Distiller to convert Postscript file to PDF (for example file  qwer.ps)Distiller has two ways to create PDF1- Create tmp file with tmp name and starts write the contents of the PDF to it and after finish it rename the file to qwer.pdf2- Distiller creates directly qwer.pdf and start writing the contents (the qwer.pdf was locked for writing to other apps)after distiller finishes writing the PDF it frees the  qwer.pdf.The questionAny body know when Distiller will use  method 1 or 2 !?   and how we can control/force distiller to use 1 only or 2 only !!It is not the memory size because distiller still do that on any PC with large memory and it still use #1   even with small postscript file !!RegardsAdam

I've read PostScript language reference, but I'm still unclear, what will be if we Save array of integers than changed values of integers and than Restore the arrray?Citation from 3.7.1:"The array is a composite object whose value resides in VM. The value in turnconsists of two objects, an integer and a string."But integers are simple objects and contain values neither local nor global VM but in themselves. So, I can suppose that Restore doesn't change back values of integers. But what does it mean following statement in this case:Citation from 3.7.3:"Resets the values of all composite objects in local VM, except strings, to theirstate at the time of the save"What the value of array of integers must be reset?

What values will be in array after Restoring, if before Saving they were [1, 2, 3], after saving changed to [5, 6, 7]?

The PostScript program below draws 13 vertical bars with smooth shading (shfill).The rendering works as expected. On top of each bar are 2 numbers. For the firstof these bars, #0, the text by Showtext is correct. The other 12 bars don't shownumbers, but as tested by Illustrator, the paths exist, but they are not filled.If shfill is blocked (% shfill) then all numbers are rendered correctly.What might be wrong?http://docs-hoffmann.de/swatch22112002.pdf A final result is shown on p.18 here, but it was achieved by using an extra procedurefor the numbers.Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann%!PS-Adobe-3.0  EPSF-3.0%%BoundingBox:  0 0 1191 842%%Creator:      Gernot Hoffmann%%Title:        K-Bars Smooth shades%%CreationDate: June 19 2019/mm  {2.834646 mul} def/tx1 [(1.0  ) (1.1  ) (1.2  ) (1.3  ) (1.4  ) (1.5  ) (1.6  )       (1.7  ) (1.8  ) (1.9  ) (

Hello,I'm looking for a way to convert a bmp image to ps format.I have a link to Adobe PS driver http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500  but this driver is compatible with Windows XP and not working with any newer version of windows, like Windows 7 and above. If anyone knows where can I find a driver that will work with newer Windows versions, please share the details. I know that there are many online sites that provide online conversion for the different formats, but I cannot use them because of the security concerns.Thank you.
