Well, I can harldy believe it, but this fails (ie: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=a4 rotates it into Seascape and viewing the pdf with gv translates it, cropping the text in half) %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%EndComments %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 %%BeginPageSetup %%EndPageSetup /xmax 595.2 def /ymax 841.8 def /horizon ymax 0.28 mul def gsave % an attempt to protect the showpage in -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 0 ymax 0.5 mul xmax ymax rectfill 0 ymax 0.5 mul translate 0.707 0.707 scale -90 rotate /ZapfChancery-MediumItalic findfont horizon 0.4 mul scalefont setfont xmax 0.22 mul horizon 0.38 mul moveto (pjb.com.au) show grestore showpage %%EOF whereas the same thing succeeds when I comment out the xmax 0.22 mul horizon 0.38 mul moveto (pjb.com.au) show line thus: % xmax 0.22 mul horizon 0.38 mul moveto (pjb.com.au) show ! It's amazing... I have used this | gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=x.pdf - dozens of times per day for decades now (I runs it as a pipe because I have other processes that put the PS together) and I've never had this PDF-in-Seascape problem before; indeed those Makefiles still work. It must be related to the translate and rotate in conjunction with the string... It's not just about the show, because it also fails if I use charpath clip and rectfill ... I'm using debian stable: box8 (debian) ~> gs --version 9.06 box8 (debian) ~> gv --version gv 3.7.4 Peter -- Peter Billam www.pjb.com.au www.pjb.com.au/comp/contact.html
