Source PDF

PDF files that have more then 15 pages that are a different size then the rest of the PDF pages causes Printers and Adobe Pro to have a limitcheck error for size. For example, a PDF with mostly pages being USLetter size but have 17 pages in the document that are 9x11 page size. The postscript generated with this command line:

gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r600 -sDEVICE=ps2write -dSAFER -q -sOutputFile=test.ps -c save pop -f Binder5.pdf

Cause this error when distilled with Adobe pro:

%%[ Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: save ]%%

Stack:
/pagesave
false

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

Printers tested give the same error.

Attached is an example PDF and postscript file.

This is caused by limitations in the architecture of Adobe PostScript interpreters.

Commit 0f6067d2531298060392d0e25fa759d320e03021 works around the problem.

NB it would really help to submit specimen files with less content and fewer pages.
