"Print to file" in evince 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.1 on Trusty only has an option to print to a PS file, so I did this, then ran ps2pdf.
Running the "top" command shows that gs from the ubuntu USER is at the top of the list with 100% use of one of my four CPU cores (single CPU state/separate CPU states can be toggled by pressing "1" while top is running). SHaRed memory was fixed at 3776 KiB, while VIRTual memory size and RESident memory size steadily increased to over 100000 KiB each after 10 minutes and continued to steadily increase to over 200000 KiB before the conversion completed after 1 hour and 17 minutes. Unless I am mistaken, gs is ghostscript. The ghostscript version on Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" is 9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.2. However not that Christopher's conversion on Vivid also took ~2 hours. The ghostscript version on Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" development version is 9.14~dfsg- 0ubuntu4 ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525161 Title: sometimes it's never print out any page and hangs on To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/525161/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
