Given a postscript file that has the following header %!PS-Adobe-3.0 I would like to list all fonts used in the file. The output does not have to be perfect, but I need to make sure I get all references to any font being used. I am aware there are different types of fonts, and that a font may or may not be embedded in the postscript f...
I am trying to understand what the process is of turning HTML into a PDF/Postscript programmatically All Google searches turn up libraries to do this, but I am more interested in the actual process required. I know you could just set up a Postscript printer and print directly to that, but some of these libraries appear to create the ...
How to convert an large image and embed it into postscript? I used to convert the bitmap into HEX codes and render with colorimage. It works for small icons but I hit a /limitcheck error in ghostscript when I try to embed little larger images. It seem there is a memory limit for bitmap in ghostscript. I am looking a solution which can ...
hello, i have a tricky question, so i need to describe my problem: i need to print 2-sided booklets (a third of a paper) on normal paper (german A4, but letter is okay also) and cut the paper afterwards. The Pages are in a Postscript Level 2 File (generated by an ancient printer driver, so no chance to patch that, except ps2ps) generat...

I am inserting metadata into postscript files with a program, to be distilled to pdf with Adobe Distiller. I am using this code that I grabbed from an online chapter of Thomas Merz's "Web Publishing with Acrobat-PDF": /pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse [ /Title (mot accenté) /Author (mot accenté)...
I have a Word 2007 document with many sections. Each section enables / disables duplex using a PCL5 escape code in the header on page 1 of the section. PCL5 printers are getting rarer, especially high volume / capacity ones. Is there an equivalent generic code that could be used instead of a printer specific code? Or is there a PCL6 ...
I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically determine a printers inputslot tray to number definitions for use in generating postscript. I have gathered a collection of PPD files and collated information that way but it seems stupid to be limited to only the printers i have the PPD's for - would be better to interrogate the printe...

I ignore the error and try to import and xml file...
I'm trying to use Ghostscript and/or ImageMagick to convert each page of a Postscript document into PNG images. The problem is that both produce images that are way too saturated (I think that's the right terminology). Here are the commands I'm trying: gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -sOutputFile=page...
What is a common printer interface today? I've read most of them support PostScript and/or PCL. How should I use PS/PCL from an app code (say, under Win32)? ...

I'm creating a postscript printer for windows 7 which will accept print jobs and forward them to real printers. It will be shared in the LAN and can receive print jobs from LAN computers. I want to find out from which computer a print job came from before forwarding them to a printer. How can I do this? Is the details available in the pr...
I'm developing a virtual printer to accept print jobs and route them to real printers in a LAN. I'm hoping to create a postscript printer to act as a shared virtual printer to accept print jobs from the LAN, I hope to develop it through ghostscript and redmon. If you can please let me know any online resources, examples or any tutorials...
I am trying to merge two or more postscript files into one. I tried concatenation but it does not work as each postscript file may have different resource header. Have anyone done this before? Are there any libraries (commercial or open source) out there? I do not mind C++, C# or even Java libraries. Edited These are large postscript ...
