From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: I included an eps file in a latex document (test.tex) and then have one line of text as follows \begin{document} \begin{picture}(500,500)(106,155) \epsfig{file=letterhead.eps} \end{picture} \vspace{-15cm} \centerline{\bf Extra text here.} \end{document} latex+dvips creates test.ps; then gv views the document (test.ps) correctly. But while printing from gv, only the letterhead.eps is printed. It does not print the other text, i.e., `Extra text here' is not printed. The same happens in kghostview, in ggv. While test.ps is viewed and printed correctly from ghostview under windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In any editor create a file test.ps with the following code: \begin{document} \begin{picture}(500,500)(106,155) \epsfig{file=letterhead.eps} \end{picture} \vspace{-15cm} \centerline{\bf Extra text here.} \end{document} 2. In the same directory keep letterhead.eps, an eps file with a small picture, say an emblem, and some text, say your name, and a horizontal line as usual in a letter head. 3. latex test.tex 4. dvips test.dvi 5. gv test.ps 6. print from gv. It shows the contents of the eps file and also the text `Extra text here.' 7. Only the eps file is printed. The text'Extra text here.' is not printed. Note: the same happens foe kghostview, for ggv Actual Results: No error message Expected Results: Printing should have included in a separate line the centered text 'Extra text here.' Additional info: The file that is generated by latex+dvips, i.e., test.ps is viewed and printed correctly from the windows version of ghostview.
The eps file was created as in the following. 1. A file was created in MS Word (e.g., test.doc). 2. It was printed to a file using a postscript printer generating test.prn 3. test.prn renamed as test.eps Note: If the same file test.doc is opened in openOfiice, converted to test.pdf, then in gv it is saved as test.eps, then things work well.
I think that this error happens in the DSC parser, which consider %%EOF comment in the EPS file as the end of the whole file.
