Description Alex Cherepanov 2002-06-01 06:14:51 UTC 
Originally reported by: alexcher@users.sourceforge.net
When the file attached is converted to PDF by GS 7.21 the
1st page appears empty because it is overwritten by a
big white rectangle. There's no such rectangle in PS file.

This happens because the restored page device initializes
the graphic state.

The patch:

changes the setdistillerparams function to make sure that the pagedevice
is not reset or erased.
