Now there are two methods > for adding CMaps: > (a) \pdffontattr, package cmap > (b) \pdfgentounicode, glyphtounicode.tex > > Both methods have its limitations, e.g. (b) only works for Type 1 > fonts. Thus you could need both methods to cover all fonts, but the > methods doesn't know each other, thus fonts can end up with two CMap > tables. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2010-04-16 12:25 Message: a workaround for this problem is available in pdftex stable (1.40.11-beta).

Compiled with libpng 1.2.40; using libpng 1.2.42 Compiled with zlib 1.2.3; using zlib 1.2.3 Compiled with poppler version 0.12.3 After upgrading from texlive-2008 to 2009 on both my x86 and amd64 Gentoo systems, I discovered that all my forms/letters containing pstricks logos/graphics were missing the logo images, when compiled via "pdflatex --shell-escape letter.tex" using auto-pst-pdf: \usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}]{auto-pst-pdf} Apparently pdfcrop was not able to crop the images. Since my logos were already cropped when I created them in Inkscape, I worked around the issue by disabling cropping: \usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}, crop=off]{auto-pst-pdf} or by using the pdfcrop option --ini: \usepackage[pspdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}, pdfcrop={--debug --verbose --ini}]{auto-pst-pdf} After looking through test.log I decided to run the runsystem() commands manually. So I tried running the command pdfcrop --verbose --debug "test-autopp.pdf" "test-pics.pdf" which fails: PDFCROP 1.22, 2009/12/29 - Copyright (c) 2002-2009 by Heiko Oberdiek. * System: unix * Not found (gs): /sbin/gs * Not found (gs): /usr/sbin/gs * Not found (gs): /usr/local/sbin/gs * Not found (gs): /bin/gs * Found (gs): /usr/bin/gs * Autodetected ghostscript command: gs * Input file: test-autopp.pdf * Output file: test-autopp-crop.pdf * Margins: 0 0 0 0 * Running ghostscript for BoundingBox calculation ... * Ghostscript call: gs -sDEVICE=bbox -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -c save pop -f test- autopp.pdf GPL Ghostscript 8.71 (2010-02-10) Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.

The latest version of easypdf (6.0) no longer produces such odd pdfs, and I could not find 4.2 anywhere. thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2009-12-24 10:38 Message: in earlier versions of pdf spec, values in named resources must be indirect object, hence the test isRef(). I looked into the current pdf spec and it seems the above requirement is gone, not sure from which version of pdf. So we can leave out that test now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=4299&group_id=106
