Re: Output from NIST test suite

You may also want to check the mailing list archives. Especially Joerg
and I have discussed this a number of times. GhostScript paired with an
image differ would be my favourite approach.
Thanks for the tip about Ghostscript, I got it working and together with 
the NIST suite it have been a great help in detecting changes.

I drive ghostscript with a bash script like this:

for f in $*; do
    r="${f/.pdf/.png}"
    echo $f $r
    gswin32 -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m \
             -sOutputFile=$r $f
done
and it is quite slow and cause the ghostscript console to flicker and 
grab the focus all the time. Annoying.

Does anyone here know of a better (and maybe faster) way of using 
ghostscript to convert 615 pdf files to images?
