I am trying to print an iTools window to a Postscript file. Printing works fine
if the output is sent directly to an HP Color Laserjet.
If I print to a file (xprinter.out), however, the file is not usable in any of
my usual Postscript tools (Illustrator, pstopdf, Preview, Distiller). The
Distiller output log is:
.
.
.
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller ]%%
Stack:
1.0
-save-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
pstopdf chokes with a similar error.
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: image ]%%
I have tried using the Generic (File Only) output option, but that apparently
produces only grayscale output (no color).
Any suggestions on how I can get a usable Postscript file from the printer
device?
Failing that, how do I TVRD from the iTool, so that I can at least save the
window as a bitmap?
Thanks, Ken Bowman
