Description evan schulz 2004-10-10 15:40:48 UTC 
I have a bunch of PDFs created with Adobe's Distiller 5 that will often throw
the following error:

gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=out.png pg28.pdf
...
Substituting /Adobe-Identity for /NNPXYW+TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT.
Error: /undefinedresource in --findresource--
...

Opening the file in Acrobat Pro, saving it as postscript, and running that
through gs is successful, but it'd be nice not to have to take that extra step.

I've gone through the docs, bugs, etc. trying to find what is happening.  I've
tried different combinations of gs 8.14, 8.15, 8.31, and gs-gnu on WinXP, Debian
Linux, and FreeBSD.

Comment 2 Igor Melichev 2004-10-24 09:47:56 UTC 
We will improve the error message, but we won't improve the substitution 
since 'Identity' doesn't specify a language.
Comment 4 Igor Melichev 2004-10-26 02:59:21 UTC 
Please note that the user must add a cidfmap record like this :

          /Adobe-Identity /WadaGo-Bold ;

See more details in the documentation patch referred in the Comment #3.
