I use Ghostscript to convert PDF files into TIFF for fax. Mostly it works just fine, but now I have got a PDF file it can't convert. This PDF file works fine to open in Adobe Acrobat. I get the same error in both version 8.51, 8.50 and 8.00. I'm using the following arguments: gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r204x98 -g1728x1136 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dPDFFitPage - dFIXEDMEDIA -dNORANGEPAGESIZE -sDEVICE=tiffg4 - sOutputFile="c:\test\pdf\200507152106_001.tif" "c:\test\pdf\200507152106_001.pdf " And gets the following output from version 8.51: AFPL Ghostscript 8.51 (2005-04-18) Copyright (C) 2005 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.

Created attachment 1616 [details] The PDF I can't convert.
The PDF file is incorrect. The PDF specification requires CID font files to be embedded but this file doesn't embed them. Ghostscript provides several ways to substitute missing CIDFont resources. See "CID font substitution" section in doc/Use.htm in your Ghostscript distribution. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 687747 ***
