Ghoshscript error : Error: /rangecheck in --.dicttomark--

I am trying to use ghoshscript to convert a pdf in image.

The PDF is : http://www.coppernet.zm/MPLS.pdf

$ sudo docsplit images -o /tmp/previews -p 1-5 -s 150,750,1000 -f png MPLS.pdf 
While reading gs_cidfm.ps:
Error: /rangecheck in --.dicttomark--

I tryied to apply this : http://thomas-genin.com/ghostscript-convert-error-undefined-in-findresource/ and it creates this error.

EDIT: If I remove the /var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/cidfmap file I don't have the error anymore.

Solution

  • You don't say what version of Ghostscript you are using, and because you are using something which executes Ghostscript you haven't given me a command line I can actually try.

    However, on the assumption that the (ImageMagick?) command line in the error is the one being used, I rendered your PDF file to PNM without problems using a copy of the current code, so I suspect that this is resolved, I would recommend you upgrade to the current version.

    If this doesn't solve the problem, then you should open a bug report at http://bugs.ghostscript.com please attach the PDF file there, and supply a Ghostscript command line which demonstrates the problem.
