[reportlab-users] problem converting pdf to ps]

[Hassan Chahrour]

Hi

Yesterday I tried it with the graphical interface (GSView 4.8).

When I saw your email this morning I tried it on the command line, it 
worked, but it also reported a warning like the one you got about the 
too many q's.

I used:

C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.53\bin>gswin32c.exe -sOutputFile=temp.ps 
-sDEVICE=pswrite c:\Temp\tmp029660082.pdf
The output was:
