AFPL Ghostscript 8.50 for 68k and x86-AROS released today

"Does anyone else have the problem of the Amiga Ghostscript port chopping off the top 20mm or so from PostScript documents saved (via print options) from Final Writer 97?"

Only if I use a page size taller than 11 inches.

I believe there are a couple ways to override GS's default page size for something other than US letter size. What size page do you normally use?

There is a newer version of convert2pdf.rexx at:

I did some testing with Final Writer and GS.

To get proper results with A4 page sizes, edit the file "GS850:libs/gs_init.ps".

Line 67 looks like:

"% (a4) /PAPERSIZE where { pop pop } { /PAPERSIZE exch def } ifelse"

Delete the percent symbol at the beginning of the line.

Hi Whoosh777,

"another external way is from the commandline one can change papersize via eg -sPAPERSIZE=a4"

I tried this, but for some strange reason it didn't work with FW's output. Then I tried to find GS's init.ps file because I read somewhere about two weeks ago that you could use it to change the default paper size. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I can't remember where I saw such a suggestion.
