Description Tom Conley 2008-04-30 10:20:18 UTC 
I'm generating a PDF with CutePDF from an Office 2003 PowerPoint presentation.  
I have a web link in the presentation that works fine in Slide Show.  When I 
print it, I get a double period in the link like www..site..com.  I have not 
see this before.  I updated my CutePDF and GS to 8.62, but I got the same 
result.  Any ideas?

Regards,
Tom Conley

CutePDF  is a commercial application and they should provide some
level of customer support.

Ghostscript converts PostScript stream into PDF. The stream can come
from a file or as a sequence of API calls. We need the input stream
to reproduce the problem and start working.

Please try to capture the input stream. You can modify your copy of Ghostscript
to trace the API calls and their arguments. Perhaps there are easier ways such
as printing to a file. Maybe, an intermediate file is created in the temp
directory?

Unfortunately, little can be done without a sample file.
Feel free to attach the sample file and reopen the bug.
