ps2pdf.bat Options - setting the paper size
|
|
|
| When I pass a 22x17 inch *.ps file to ps2pdf, it puts it on an A-sheet. If
I open this PostScript file in GhostView and look under the Media menu it
says the papersize is "User Defined".
8.5x11 and 17x11 page sizes work fine, but I need to be able to set the page
size to 22x17, 34x22 and 44x34 inches. How do I do that?

Hello,
try to add
<< /PageSize [1584 1224] >> setpagedevice
before the first drawing operation in the PS file
(for 22x17). Calculate the numbers by
inches*72.
Hope this helps,
Dirk

| Dirk,
There is that command already in the .PS file (see below for copy portion).
Anyways, i don't want to have to open every PS file and add stuff to it. I
want to be able to produce PDF files in a batch mode.
Does anyone know how to get this working properly with large paper sizes?
========================================
%%BeginFeature: *PageSize AnsiC
/HPDict /ProcSet findresource /SetMargins get [ 0 0 1 0 ] exch exec
<</PageSize[1224 1585]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
========================================

| I tried the following, with no success. Tells me the paper size is unknown.
C:\Program Files\Ghost Script\gs8.50\lib>ps2pdf.bat c:\b.ps c:\b.pdf

%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[LastPage]%%
C:\Program Files\Ghost Script\gs8.50\lib>ps2pdf.bat -sPAPERSIZE=letter
c:\b.ps c:\b.pdf

Replace the '=' by a '#':
>ps2pdf.bat -sPAPERSIZE#letter c:\b.ps c:\b.pdf
Cf. Use.htm of the GhostScript documentation, section "MS Windows".
Also notice that you have to specify the output file (c:\b.pdf),
otherwise c:\b.ps would be overwritten.

I've been looking all over for a solution to this problem.
Thanks! |
