The customer reports and I've verified that the attached PDF file generates an error when read by Ghostscript 8.61 and head (r8601): Error: /undefined in --.execform1--. Adobe Acrobat 8 and Apple Preview both read the file without error. The command line I'm using for testing: bin/gs -sDEVICE=tiff24nc -o test.tif ./Out.pdf Here's the complete Ghostscript 8.61 output: GPL Ghostscript 8.61 (2007-11-21) Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc.

Created attachment 3930 [details] foo.pdf This is a simplified sample file. Ghostscript cannot read an embedded CFF CIDFont resource. Acrobat Reader 5 cannot print this file to a PS printer, but Acrobat reader 8 can. Probably, the CIDFont resource is incorrect.
Created attachment 3941 [details] patch Repair broken CFF CIDFont stream generated by "Exstream Dialogue Version 6.2.004m (DBCS)". 1. The CFF stream has a single Private DICT block but refers to it twice. New version caches the DICT block that correspond to the Private stream. 2. The operands of ROS operator are too small and correspond to some random values from the standard string table. The patch doesn't attempt find the right values nut converts the fetched names to strings to avoid a typecheck error during resource handling.
The patch is committed as a rev. 8641. Regression testing shows no differences. Since the fix changes only gs_cff.ps , tha patch is likely to be compatible with earlier releases.
