ghostscript

I'm trying to find all fill and stroke values used in an EPS file. I can parse the file, I just can't figure out how color values are defined in the EPS postscript section. I have converted the file to SVG (using ghostscript) and I can get the hex values, but an EPS to SVG conversion with a gradient produces files 20x the size. Is there a standard format for color values in postscript that I can extract from an EPS file? KenS PostScript is a programming language, not a simple file format, so there is no simple way to determine what is going on in the program. A gradient may well be defined as

The print house requires my dissertation's PDF to be compliant with PDF/X1a:2001. The content file was compiled using XeTeX LaTeX and the second PDF is the cover design done with Inkscape 0.48 . The nearest answer I found in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3483801/1288722 , and if I rightly understood, this can be done at least to convert the PDF to PDF/X using Ghostscript . As stated in the answer above, conversion to PDF/X requires a valid ICC profile. I contacted the printing house and they provided a file of their preferred one which is: ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc . I added the .icc

I'd like to be able to resize an A4 PDF to the slightly bigger SRA4 format, used by printing professionals. The content shouldn't be resized, but only centered. In other words, I'd like to add margins to my A4 document. I managed more or less to do that with this Ghostscript (9.05) call: gs -dPDFSETTINGS=/default -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=637 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=907 -dFIXEDMEDIA in.pdf The problem is that the A4 content is not centered in the SRA4 page, but is placed at the bottom left corner. Any idea how to center the content? plang I

Consider this PDF . I am trying to convert it to standard letter size (8.5 x 11) using the following command. gs -dFIXEDMEDIA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sPAPERSIZE=letter \ -dPDFFitPage -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf \ dean08mapreduce.pdf Here is pdfinfo on the output.

I have installed ghostscript of 64 bit on my 64 bit linux machine. I am using ghost4j-0.5.0.jar to convert pdf files to tiff files. I have written a java program which will convert pdf files to tiff files. This is working perfectly fine on Windows but when i thought of moving this to linux machine i am getting the below error. "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'gs': libgs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I checked lib folder and could not find libgs.so file in the lib folder. I am not sure where to get that file.

I have a pdf with something like presentations slides and multiple slides per page. How can I use ghostscript to split the file so that there is one slide per page? A long time ago I wrote some code for someone on comp.lang.postscript to do this, again it was for PowerPoint slides. This PostScript code assumes that all the 'subpages' (ie slides) are the same size and location on the PDF page and that all the PDF pages are the same size. Save the following as a file called pdf_slice.ps and follow the usage as described in the comments. %!PS % Copyright (C) 2011 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights
