PDF Formularies with GNU Ghostscript
I work in a research institute where we have a client who wants to code an open-source pdf viewer for windows that allows to fill formularies. I know from http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.ghostscript.bug/browse_thread/thread/a0e528788df2d05b/77c608a395d93865?lnk=gst&q=interactive&rnum=1#77c608a395d93865 (Search by "The PDF Effort" in the newsgroup) that supporting PDF interactive properties was an objective for GNU Ghostscript. Could I know which is the status of this objective? Hi. The PDF Effort (and project) has been moved out of GNU Ghostscript. We finally decided to not use Ghostscript, but to develop a lightweight interpreter. We are now seeking for funds: the plan is to write the code in one year employing four engineers. -- Jose E.

Re: logging GS PDF to TIFF conversion process
Hello. Is there any way to log error messages that Ghostscript produces? I’m trying to convert multiple PDFs to TIFFs and I would like to keep a log of each conversion. You can try to redirect the output of the commands to some file. -- Jose E. Marchesijema...@gnu.org GNU Project http://www.gnu.org
Re: Making gnu-ghostscript-8.71.1 fails ion HP-UX11, macro expansion too big
Hello. When running command make in gnu-ghostscript, makefile = base/ unixansi.mak it will not do anything but complaining: "Make macro expansion too big. Stop." Seems that there is something in that makefile exceeding the capabilities of your make program. Is the error message identifying a concrete line in the makefile? I can't test it here since I don't have access to a hp-ux machine. What make are you using? or is there a workaround for this fatal limitation? You could try to install GNU make and to use it to build ghostscript. -- Jose E. Marchesijema...@gnu.org GNU Project http://www.gnu.org
Re: Making gnu-ghostscript-8.71.1 fails ion HP-UX11, macro expansion too big
You could try to install GNU make and to use it to build ghostscript. I will try this if I can find a prebuilt GNU make for HP-UX. Otherwise I will presumebly having the same "make problem" again. Not really. GNU make does not require make to be built. Just build it using the build.sh script, after running configure. I would give it a try. -- Jose E.

As free software, you are free to adapt it to your needs and to use and/or distribute the modified versions. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
