Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2011-01-12 20:42:09 UTC

The file Bug690300.pdf generates a bad PostScript file when converted using Ghostscript head (r12021) and ps2write @ 300 dpi.  The same file works correctly @ 72 dpi.

The command lines I'm using for testing:

  bin/gs -sDEVICE=ps2write -o test.ps -r300 ./Bug690300.pdf
  bin/gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -o test.ppm ./test.ps

Comment 1 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2011-01-12 20:45:41 UTC

The file Bug690349.ps fails in exactly the opposite way: @ 300 dpi the generated PostScript file is bad but @ 72 dpi it's okay.
