[reportlab-users] re: [ reportlab-Bugs-718145 ] Big incompatibility problem with Ghostscript using images

[Robin Becker]

Hi Paulo, we have checked your bug report using the standard
test_platypus_general.py script and with both ReportLab-1.17
and the latest CVS we see no problems. 

We tested with Mandrake 9.1 and used our SMB printer with a
ghostscript driver.

It is possible that that image doesn't show a problem so
if you are still seeing a problem can you email me directly
    robin@reportlab.com
or post in the users list ie
    reportlab-users@reportlab.com

Also a simple test script illustrating the problem and perhaps
some details of the system etc may help.

Summary: Big incompatibility problem with Ghostscript using images

Initial Comment:
There's a big problem when i add images into a page

using platypus.

The resulting PDF is viewable from Adobe Acrobat but

it's not printable. Investigating the problem i

discovered that ghostscript is unable to "see" the

image in the PDF. 

This problem isn't present in the 1.09 version of

reportlab toolkit.



This is a great incompatibility problem since

ghostscript is the main .ps conversion method used for

printing in Linux environment.



I hope you fix this soon, cause reportlab for other

systems other than windows is quite useless with this

problem.
