gswin32c.exe -dPDFA -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -
sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=cur.pdf params.ps PDFA_def.ps Bug688631.pdf

On my comp it takes 300M RAM and then fails with the message :

[a+]gs_malloc(large object chunk)(595213736) = 0x0: failed

The problem happens when converting a transparency to a bitmap (PDF/A doesn't 
allow transparency). Need to insret clist before pdfwrite when transparency 
needs a big buffer.

Passing the bug to Raph since it needs an architectural decision.

Comment 4 leonardo 2007-08-29 20:44:56 UTC

Passing to Ken since he handles pdfwrite from now.

I think it's a dup of the bug 689571.
