Hello,

I'm converting a PS-file into a PDF file. File ist "testpage.ps": http://anders.geekhouse.no/Testpage/

My commandline is

convert -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -limit disk 4GiB -colors 2 -monochrome -compress group4 -density 300x300 -page A4 +dither testpage.ps pdffile.ps

With 6.8.9 the PDF is OK (fit's to page), but 6.8.9-1 is not OK. What is the cause?

Are you sure your command line is correct? Should pdffile.ps be pdffile.pdf? Did you upgrade your version of Ghostscript recently?

Oh yes, it's a typo:

convert -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -limit disk 4GiB -colors 2 -monochrome -compress group4 -density 300x300 -page A4 +dither testpage.ps pdffile.pdf

is correct. Normally, there a placeholder in a batch file. Therefore, this is not the reason for the problem.

Ghostscript 9.10 was unchanged (I'm using 9.10, because it's part of PDFcreator).

installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine
installed IM 6.8.9-1 => not fine
uninstalled IM 6.8.9-1
installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine

I cannot reproduce your problem with the latest beta. Can you check the output of -verbose? Is it using the Ghostscript API in both situations? What is your operating system?

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce it now:

installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine
installed IM 6.8.9-1 => not fine
"not fine" was reproducible with several files

installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine
uninstalled 6.8.9
installed IM 6.8.9-1 => works fine

installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine
installed IM 6.8.9-1 => works fine (= "not fine" is not reproducible)

Now, it's working. In the next days. I will cross-check this on an other computer. Currently, I'm using W7 64bit with ImageMagick-6.8.9-1-Q16-x64-dll.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards
