I have a customer in Macau that uses Windows EUDC for custom Big5 glyphs. I used Fontforge on Linux to convert the .TTE into a type 11 (CID type 2) font and created a custom CMap to map the Big5 code points to the correct glyph in the font. This all works fine and dandy in GS8.60 on Windows and GS8.61 - GS8.63 on Linux. When loading t...

Hi! I am writing a script that reads some markup data, generates a tex document and converts it to a png image. As long as I use a resolution up tp 286 px/inch everything works fine.

I've been bashing my head against this to no avail. I need to shrink some large PDFs to print on an 8.5x11 inch (standard letter) page. Can imagemagick/ghostscript handle this sort of thing, or am I having so much trouble because I'm using the wrong tool for the job? Just relying on the 'shrink to page' option in client-side print dial...
I’m attempting to convert PDF files into PNGs. It works great from the command line (I do have GhostScript 8.64 installed).

I'm attempting to convert a PDF into a single image using GhostScript. Only the first page is converted, while my intention is to generate a horrendously tall PNG/JPG image with all the pages concatenated together.

I've been using ghostscript to do pdf to image generation of a single page from the pdf. Now I need to be able to pull multiple pages from the pdf and produce a long vertical image.

Hi all. I am attempting, unsuccessfully, to use Ghostscript to rasterize PDF files with a transparent background to PNG files with a transparent background.
