The customer reports: We would like to get the essential information of a PDF file similar to pdf_info.ps which seems to be not functional in our GS 8.62 beta. We have already enhanced pdf_info.ps (see attachment) to give us complete box info and the detected rotation angle in a format also interpretable by a program. What we need additionally is an enhanced font list: - which fonts are embedded - which are used - which fonts replaced by which other (this is the main point) Can you help us, please?
Created attachment 4196 [details] PDF_JANE.PS
Note that pdf_info.ps and the attached PDF_JANE.PS both work with 8.62 and head (r8825), so please ignore that part of the original comment. The issue at hand is the enhanced font list.
Created attachment 4215 [details] pdf_jane_rjj.ps This file uses Ghostscript and the PDF interpreter to glean the extra information that I think the cusomter wants. The output from: gswin32c -q -dDumpFontsUsed -sFile=0.pdf pdf_jane.ps is: Producer: Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Windows CreationDate: D:20000330113139 ModDate: D:20000330113245-06'00' PDF FontName Used Font Path Used FontName ------------ -------------- ------------- Arial-BoldItalicMT /fonts/n019024l.pfb NimbusSanL-BoldItal Arial-BoldMT /fonts/n019004l.pfb NimbusSanL-Bold Arial-ItalicMT /fonts/n019023l.pfb NimbusSanL-ReguItal ArialMT /fonts/n019003l.pfb NimbusSanL-Regu JEPCCO+TT105Ao00 embedded TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT /fonts/n021024l.pfb NimbusRomNo9L-MediItal TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT /fonts/n021004l.pfb NimbusRomNo9L-Medi TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT /fonts/n021023l.pfb NimbusRomNo9L-ReguItal TimesNewRomanPSMT /fonts/n021003l.pfb NimbusRomNo9L-Regu WPTypographicSymbols /fonts/s050000l.pfb StandardSymL By adding -sFONTPATH=c:/windows/fonts the command line becomes: gswin32c -q -sFONTPATH=c:/Windows/Fonts -dDumpFontsUsed -sFile=0.pdf pdf_jane.ps And the output is: Producer: Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Windows CreationDate: D:20000330113139 ModDate: D:20000330113245-06'00' PDF FontName Used Font Path Used FontName ------------ -------------- ------------- Arial-BoldItalicMT c:/Windows/Fonts/arialbi.ttf Arial-BoldItalicMT Arial-BoldMT c:/Windows/Fonts/arialbd.ttf Arial-BoldMT Arial-ItalicMT c:/Windows/Fonts/ariali.ttf Arial-ItalicMT ArialMT c:/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf ArialMT JEPCCO+TT105Ao00 embedded TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT c:/Windows/Fonts/timesbi.ttf TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT c:/Windows/Fonts/timesbd.ttf TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT c:/Windows/Fonts/timesi.ttf TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT TimesNewRomanPSMT c:/Windows/Fonts/times.ttf TimesNewRomanPSMT WPTypographicSymbols /fonts/s050000l.pfb StandardSymL Sending to the customer to allow evaluation, and reassigning to myself until we hear from the customer.
