Description of problem: When converting pdf documents to ps the document content is altered Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-8.15.2-1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a pdf file from LaTeX source (either using dvipdf or pdflatex). 2. run pdf2ps on the file to produce a ps from the pdf. 3. open the ps file using evince, noticing the document formatting is incorrect. Actual results: Document formatting is not identical Expected results: Document formatting should be identical Additional info: I have uploaded an example of this conversion process. The files are as follows: ORIGINAL PDF FILE ----------------- http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~acrouch2/ass5.pdf CONVERTED (INCORRECTLY) PS FILE ------------------------------- http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~acrouch2/ass5.ps
Created attachment 143785 [details] ass5.pdf
Created attachment 143786 [details] ass5.ps
Confirmed with: ghostscript-8.15.3-1.fc6 FWIW, /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops seems to handle this well.
It's not just pdf2ps, it's also ps2pdf and ps2ps: I took a ps file of an A4 document (which viewed fine in gpdf and xpdf), converted it to pdf using ps2pdf, and it lopped the top of the document off (the company logo in my case).
This is with ghostscript-8.15.3-3.fc6. Previous version (from last week) worked fine.
James: which version were you using last week?
