Subject: pdf2ps and acrobat say my PDF has an error 2007-11-06 - By Luis Mineiro
Back
Hi,
I have this PDF created with OpenOffice 2.3 under Linux with only 2 pages.
I'm adding some overlay content to that PDF, a few numbers here and
there and a single phrase in the middle.
All of this happens in the first page.
Everyhting is working with no Exceptions and I'm getting a PDF that
evince can open and doesn't throw any error.
When I tried to pdf2ps that same PDF ghostscript choked and gave me
some error dump like:
Error: /undefined in --run--
Operand stack:
--dict:7/16(L)--
Execution stack:

GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1"
I tried it with different version of ghostscript to see if there was a
problem with my GS version but it happens with any version.
I then tried to open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat 8 (Windows XP box) and
if I try to print the file it also says that the PDF contains errors
and that I should contact the creator (something like that).
What I did after was to debug what could bhe causing the error, so I
tried to pdf2ps with the original PDF from OO.org and it ran OK.
Back to java code, I started removing chunks of code until the GS
error came back. I was able to isolate the error to the following
piece of code:
com.lowagie.text.Font titAcc =
FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_BOLD, 14,
com.lowagie.text.Font.UNDERLINE);
Phrase phrase = new Phrase("TITULO DE " + step + " ACCOES", titAcc);
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(over);
ct.setSimpleColumn(phrase, 95.3f, 300.0f, 500.0f, 350.0f, 0,
Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
ct.go();
Where step is a method parameter (int) and over is
PdfContentByte over = pdfStamp.getOverContent(1);
and pdfStamp is a PdfStamper
I have a few showTextAligned() calls before that code and the
resulting PDF, without the Phrase/ColumnText is OK with GS and
Acrobat.
Am I doing something wrong?
I need to add some underlined text in a specific position.
Thanks in advance.
