I use the following macros to fill polygons :/d {currentrgbcolor mark} bind def/f {setrgbcolor newpath moveto    counttomark 2 idiv {lineto} repeat    closepath fill cleartomark setrgbcolor} bind defand they appear in the code like this :d 759 4827 814 4772 814 4794 762 4830 .965 .271 .094 fThe prints are OK but when I translate the ps into pdf (for example through the native ps to pdf included in MacOS X) I get strange artifacts on each polygon boundary (white lines) : Using this procedure to disply 3d structures leads to a mess :Any hint ?

Hello,Could someone please recommend open source C/C++ interpreter for PostScript 3, like Ghostscript for example (should be free for commercial use).Thank you.

Hello everyone ,For Postscript V3.0 drivers as I have customized driver  as per our requirement  to select input tray as “Tray 2” for page 1 (Printer model :- APEOSPORT-V C5575),I checked document on XEROX website http://www.office.xerox.com/support/dctips/dc05cc0359.pdf(Page7)  as mentioned below, And per shown above I programmed to send the output to tray-2 for first page .But unfortunately I couldn’t get any output from tray-2 ,but rest of the pages came from other trays where input tray’s default setting has been done .Could you please validate if following PS code which has been sent to printer is correct to take input from tray-2.==================================%%Page: 1 1%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 595 842%%PageOrientation: Portrait%%BeginPageSetup/#copies 1 defmark {<</MediaPosition (2)>> setpagedevice} stopped cleartomark/strspage save deftrue setstrokeadjust0 lj 0 lc 10 ml%%EndPageSetupstrspage restoreshowpage%%PageTrailer%%Page: 2 2%%PageBoundingBox:

I have a HPLJ2420. It has a Compact Flash slot and I put a 256 MB card in. I would like to put PS fonts on it so they are permanently available.I can't find any utility that lets me do that (HP's Web JetAdmin purports to, but I can't get that running properly; and it's a huge hog of a program anyway.)After initializing the card, the printer can display a file directory. It shows 3 directories:0:\PermStore0:\PostScript0:\PJLI'm unable to find any references, but I assume that the printer reads and executes/installs whatever it finds there on booting.It has a format that cannot be read in a card reader connected to a PC (at least when I tried it), so I can't prep it  that way. But I think I can use PJL commands to put files on the card in the printer.So what file format should a Type 1 font be to be recognised and installed?I'd guess something like PFA, maybe with some magic added.Has anyone any suggestions or already have solved this?

I have an illegal /FontBBox in a truetype font in a postscript job. I send this file to a printer, the printer flushes the job with "illegalfont" error message.I have a composite font with a CMap and the base font is the truetype font with the illegal /FontBBox. I send this file to a printer, the printer happily prints the job.Any expert can shed any lights on this?

I have an AGFA SelectSet Avantra 25 imagesetter. It is connected to a windows 2000 machine via SCSI. This Win2k machine is our RIP station. The RIP station is networked. The RIP station communicates with the imagesetter perfectly. The RIP software (EagleRIP) makes the imagesetter available as a shared printer.Previously, I had a Windows XP machine that I used as a work station. The XP machine was on the network, and used the imagestter over the network. I simply used the print dialog from Illustrator or Photoshop, and my art would be output from the imagesetter.The Windows XP machine can't keep up anymore. From what I can see, the machine was put in when CS5 was still current, and it struggles some even with that.So we got a new machine. Windows 7 64b, 32G of RAM, nice little machine. The trouble is that I cannot add the RIP station's shared printer - the imagesetter. My new hardware is for naught if I can't output art!I have tried the Add Printer Wizard, Local Port, \\RIPstation\share

Our Accounting department want to convert monthly reports PDF file into PostScript format. The file has 1005 pages.

Hi (first time poster, user of PS approx 1 year)I'm trying to create multiple irregular shapes and Ive found that the best way to get the shape that I want is to use the 'curveto' command. If I try to create the shape using just one curveto, the junction where the two ends meet is unnaturally pointed for what i want to create (sub-rounded stones in the bottom of a river)Ive figured that by using two or three curveto lines and join them together, i can get the shape I want. However I cannot figure out the best way to 'fill' this multi-curveto shape with a desired color.Is there a way to closepath on several different lines? Here is a sample of one of my shapes....%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%---Draw a irregular rock #4%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/Rock#4{newpath12 cm 15 cm moveto10 cm 0 cm16 cm 5 cm19 cm 7 cm curveto0 0 0 setrgbcolor1 setlinewidth%.2 setgraystrokenewpath12 cm 15 cm moveto12 cm 15 cm14 cm 25 cm17 cm 25 cm19 cm 18 cm curveto0 0 0 setrgbcolor1 setlin

Dear all,on page 783 of the red book 3.Ed extended (315-character) Latin character set is mentioned. How can it be made use of? I tried with the following program to make use of it.

Dear PS Gurus,I'm learning rearranged font with "Adobe CIDFont specification" and have a lot of questions. Now the first two are coming.1.

I can't seem to find what the /OrigFont in the Adobe Type 1 font for. I searched and could not find much written on the subject. Anyone can shed some light?TIA

We have the option to include full-page marketing inserts (PDFs) in our documents/letters. These inserts get put in with the full postscript file that we send to a print facility to print and mail.Every time a new marketing insert is created, I run a custom preflight check to make sure fonts are embedded and transparencies don't exist.The thing is, we use a few print facilities, they all have problems printing any of the resources/PDFs in the postscript that have TrueType fonts. I also see errors when I try to distill files with TrueType fonts: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JOLMKC+Times-Roman'."  Sometimes I can edit the PDF to convert them to Type 1 fonts, but not always. Is there any way to convert TrueType to Type 1? Why are the TrueType fonts not working? I've done some research, and everything I've read says that TrueType fonts should be working within postscript. Any help would be appreciated!What I'm using:Adobe Acrobat XI ProWindows 8.1Example font I used with the err

I'm not sure what the question would be but here's what I'm trying to do. I have very large arrays of integers that I need to include in a PostScript program. In order to reduce the size of the files, I'm trying to make the arrays more compact. I'm not sure of the best approach, but what I thought of doing was to take the code for the array, say like [16545 8612 641 25142... ...] and run it through the FlateEncode and ASCII85Encode filters. So I just have the array only encoded then put in my program "currentfile /ASCII85Decode filter /FlateDecode filter cvx exec" followed by the encoded array. When I run this through Distiller I get "Error: ioerror: --nostringval--". However, if I encode the following "1024 array dup 0 [16545 8612 641 25142... ...] putinterval" and encode that with the filters and put that in my program it runs through distiller with no error. So my question is why is it that if I just take an array and read it in and do cvx exec I get a --nostringval-- error, but if

I work at a printing company and we use InDesign as our designing software. To begin the printing process, we create a postscript from InDesign to drop into PRINERGY EVO (a pre-press refining software) that later takes it to PREPS (an output imposition program). When we are exporting a postscript, we check the option to include document bleeds (which are found in the InDesign document and formatted properly). However, when we view the postscript, it does not have the bleeds, which we need for cutting accurately. We began to have this problem after upgrading to Creative Cloud, if that plays a factor. Hope I explained it thoroughly!

I am troubleshooting sending postscript to a Ricoh Pro 8110. The postscript is sent to the printer via LPR command. I am trying to print a barcode as close to the edge of the right side as possible.The problem I am having is that even though the postscript appears fine when viewing it with GSView or other postscript viewers, when it prints on the Richo printer the left edge of the printed output is truncated, and the right edge has a margin. So the Leading Edge is too small (on the left) and the Trailing Edge (on the right) is to large. Its as if the rendered postscript does not line up on the page properly. I have checked that the page size is 8.5 X 11. Here are my questions:1. I am thinking the problem is more likely an issue with the printer, than it is with the postscript. Is this correct? If so are there any particular printer settings I should look at?2. Is there any postscript commands that will "shift" the entire content to the right or left? I would like to see if there is a w

I have two postscript files, each representing a pure black and white, identically sized images (generated by Eagle PCB, not that that's all that relevant), as attached.   I'd like to combine the two files into a single file where both images are side by size on a single row so I can print them both together.   What's the easiest route to achieve this?Example of the files:https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrcw4t4bk0x5x6u/File1.ps?dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/s/21de4f9c35qa3w3/File2.ps?dl=0

Hi all !Sorry if here is not the proper place for my question. If it is the case, can anyone inform the right place ?Well, I'm trying to build a tool to sign PDFs by incremental update using Delphi [] .I'm newbie in PDF structure and short deadline made me desperate and maybe a little inattentive.After 2 months of hard fighting I managed to get the Acrobat Reader know that my PDF (originally created by a java tool called SignServer) has a signature and recognize the certificate but it says that the certification is invalid because "the byte range is invalid".I analysed the PDF in a hex editor and the signature byte range as well any other object offsets appears correct.My test PDF is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0KKmaB-a0Z4SDZfNXdZRWZEem8Can anyone to indicate me what is wrong with that PDF ?Thanks a lot for any help !

Postscript designed by brilliant Engineer who was nameless in software design , compiler design   etc  But he was giant in  knowing what end user , applications and  industry need and he has imagination to think about the future for this industry.Since 15 years and postscript language has no added features!!  not even new version !!!!2006 Adobe itself created another workflow based on PDF to remove softly but surely this language !Some articles suggested this is the beginning of the end ! and wondered if it will be ever 25th  Anniversary of Postscript !!Adobe official goes online 2008 and invite industry maker an developer to move away from that language!!!!But Postscript survived! and now it is 32 years has been passed since the release of Postscript Level One !!And Postscript still as of today the famous and most used language across the globe !!NO single laser printer released unless it has postscript built in or as an option!Even high speed produc
