Description Richard Ames 2001-11-19 11:02:05 UTC

ghostscript-5.50-17 converted without error.

please submit file.

Comment 2 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-11-26 23:32:32 UTC
Hmm. the file gets created, but ghostscript throws an exception. Very odd.

Comment 3 Richard Ames 2001-11-26 23:51:18 UTC
As I recall it the pdf output it creates before the exception only has one
page... the ps file has 4 pages and ghostscript-5.50-17 converts all 4 without
error.

Thanks for looking at it....  Richard.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-01-10 10:15:45 UTC
Can you submit the file as an attachment to this bug report, so that we can 
track it better?  Thanks.
