postscript

I'm trying to use ghostscript to convert a .ps file to a series of .png files, largely because I don't have a tolerable ps viewer. This is the command I've used: gs -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -dEPSFitPage -sDEVICE=png16m -r300 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=neptune_111115_ob1-2_13pca_boloplots_%d.png neptune_111115_ob1-2_13pca_boloplots.ps (the .ps file is a multi-page postscript). The outputs are partly off the page. I'd like the images to fit inside the page. I can include example files, but they're pretty large - is there any particular part of the .ps file that would be helpful? My suspicion is that the

I am trying to write a document in postscript. Thus far I've been able to write simple text, and work with lines and shapes. I'm now trying to add some images to the document. After searching on-line I can't seem to find any clear way to do this. the snip it below is a hello world: %!PS /Times 20 selectfont 20 800 moveto (Hello World!) show showpage All I want to do is simply insert an image (eg PNG, JPG, GIF) by specifying the x and y, co-ordinates. Any help would be much appreciated. There is a simple method and Postscript does support the jpeg format. If you are using ghostscript you may

I'm writing an application that faxes a document (many supported types) provided by the end user. A requirement is that the end user can also provide text to be used as part of a custom fax header. I've been using Ghostscript to render PDFs as TIFFs and it's been working great so far, but I have yet to find a straightforward way of overlaying the custom header at the top of a PDF. I've tried out a few recommendations: How can I make a program overlay text on a postscript file? How can I add a footer to the bottom of each page of a postscript or pdf file in linux? Add comments to PDF files

I'm aware that similar questions have been answered here before: postscript - overlay one pdf or ps file on top of another - Stack Overflow overlay - Overlaying or merging multiple .ps files - Stack Overflow ... however, as they don't directly answer my specific problem, I'll try asking again. I would like to know, how I can overlay two postscript files: one - a logo: logo.ps ... on top of the other - a graphic background: tmp-Front.ps .... using a command line approach in Linux. It is of importance here, that the graphic background preserves its original contents to the greatest extent

Given a PDF document, how do I change individual page orientation? I'm using latest version of Ghostscript. Why do you require usage of Ghostscript? Would it be acceptable to use another Free, Open Source Software tool running on the commandline, such as pdftk ? Anyway, here is how to rotate pages with Ghostscript. However, this may not work for your intentions, because you cannot force a certain orientation for an individual page only. It relies on an internal Ghostscript algorithm that tries to rotate pages automatically, depending on the flow of text inside the PDFs: * -dAutoRotatePages=

I am trying to convert a PDF to JPEG: $ convert pdf-test.pdf pdf-test.pdf.jpg However, I am getting this error: convert: Postscript delegate failed `pdf-test.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/664. convert: missing an image filename `pdf-test.pdf.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.
