I'm trying to open a pdf file with ghost script and having the subj error

Here's the command line I'm using:
gswin32c -dSAFAER -dBATCH test_13.pdf

Here's what gs returns to me:

Comment 3 Alex Cherepanov 2009-04-03 12:26:25 UTC

I cannot reproduce this. Please provide more information about
your system and your copy of Ghostscript.
- do you have 32 or 64 bit system ?
- have you installed a binary distribution or compiled from sources ?
- can you run the sample file on other systems ?

Comment 4 serge gubenko 2009-04-03 14:04:17 UTC

- I have 32bit WinXP. 
- I've installed the binary distribution for gs 8.64.
- Can check it on 32bit Windows Server 2003 if needed.

gs_setpd.ps

Comment 6 serge gubenko 2009-04-03 14:18:48 UTC

Sorry, I found the problem, I have custom gs_setpd.ps to restrict the page size 
to 1728 pixels. Is this possible to configure gs to scale the image if it's 
bigger then given size?

Comment 7 Ray Johnston 2009-04-03 17:25:12 UTC

Ghostscript follows the PLRM-3rd edition as to how PageSize matching is
performed, including choosing the media from the InputAttributes dictionary
according to a fit withing +/- 5 points possibly with rotation to fit.

If no page size is close enough, then the 'Policies' dict of the page device
come into play. A PageSize policy value of 3 scales down pages that are too
large for the largest PageSize and centers smaller pages on the closest larger
PageSize.

The syntax for this in a setpagedevice dictionary is:

   << /Policies << /PageSize 3 >> >> setpagedevice

I hope this helps.

Comment 8 Alex Cherepanov 2009-04-04 06:56:33 UTC

The following prefix removes all predefined input attributes and
sets a single variable media size from the modified gs_setpd.ps .

Under policy 3, this makes media matching algorithm to scale down the
input page size to the media size. Please note that all media attributes
are replaced; modified gs_setpd.ps is not needed.

<< currentpagedevice /InputAttributes get
0 1 2 index length 1 sub {1 index exch undef } for
/InputAttributes exch dup 0 <</PageSize [0 0 612 1728]>> put
/Policies << /PageSize 3 >> >> setpagedevice

Run the prefix before your file as:

gswin32c prefix.ps foo.pdf

In any case, this is not a bug in Ghostscript.

Thank you very much for your help, I apologize for inconvenience, the issue was
in my settings not in gs itself.
