- 1 - where do I find those PDF's? (I got the PPC601.PDF (size 3Mb --> 777pages))
- 2 - have some patience :)
- No kidding, if you add some extra buffers to the partition holding the PDF
- should make GS a bit happier.
- Do you get blank pages or does it stop after telling you how many pages you
- have?
- You can try converting to a PS file and see what the output is, if any.
- I have a feeling that what you'll see is a line of text with a page number and
- a title but no data for as many pages the document has.
- If I remember correctly it is the way GS tells that the PDF has some encrypted
- data which it won't process.
- Thats the reason I want to know where you got that PDF. I'm in the beta test
- program of GS and the newer ones have a descriptive error message for this.
