Description Matias Gertel 2006-03-21 20:45:26 UTC

gs doesn't seem to like certain pdfs exported from InDesign CS. I've come across
the problem before with different files but haven't collected them... I can only
supply this one at this time...

The file works for me on Windows, display device and GNU/Linux, bmp16m. 
What command line do you use.

Comment 3 Matias Gertel 2006-03-22 12:13:06 UTC

I discovered that the bug has something to do with -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4

Matias,

Rather that have us try to guess, please give us the command line that you are 
using.  We have already asked once.

Here is the command:
gs -sDEVICE=png16m -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dBATCH -dNOPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -q
-sOutputFile="test.png" -f "TCM 1850 Three Min Hour_NZH.pdf"

It works with -dGraphicsAlphaBits=1

This problem is not a duplicate of the bug 688378.
Ghostscript doesn't hang but renders the sample file extremely slow.
