Description of problem: When converting a PDF to a PostScript file using pdf2ps, and extra empty page is added. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-9.55.0-3.fc36.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a simple PDF 2. Use `pdf2ps <file>.pdf` in order to get a new `<file>.ps` 3. Open the new file with a PostScript viewer, for example Evince 4. Convert it again to PDF with `ps2pdf <file>.ps new.pdf` 5. Open the new PDF Actual results: The generated PostScript has a new empty page at the end, in order to discard some kind of problem with the viewer, the PostScript file is again converted to PDF and the final PDF show too the same empty page at the end, not present on the source PDF Expected results: No appended extra empty page Additional info: This is causing problems with CUPS-PDF and probably any real PostScript too will waste a page added by conversion from PDF to PostScript. Doing exactly the same on Fedora 35 on the same source PDF, has no problem.
Hi Robert, thanks for your report. Problem was caused by lcms2 package which is now fixed. With lcms2 2.13.1 there is no extra page generated.
