Re: [PPower4] pdfthumb problems: premature end of file

2002-11-20 Thread Thorsten Becker
hallo klaus,

vielen dank fuer die schnelle antwort! die thumbnails werden in der tat
erzeugt, und sind alle 22638kB lang.

ls -l /tmp/
-rw-rw-r--1 becker   becker  22638 Nov 20 09:46 thumb43861.1
-rw-rw-r--1 becker   becker  22638 Nov 20 09:46 thumb43861.2

das file system hat noch platz, und ich kann mir die thumbnails auch per
'xv' anschauen, sehen OK aus. es scheint also, als ob gs die thumbnails
erzeugt, aber nicht in den zweiten PDF file einbaut. hast du eine weitere
idee, was ich checken koennte? vielen dank!

gruss


thorsten

   This is PDFThumb version 0.1.

 This message must come from reading the GhostScript created image
 files. It sounds strange, because you write that you get this message
 also with a two page document, but could the file system which takes
 the temporary files be full?
 In any case the offending image file would stay in /tmp or /var/tmp 
 with a name thumbm.n after the error.
 All such files which I created in a short test interrupting during
 inserting the images had a size of 22638 bytes though (from gs 6.53).
 
 Maybe this can help to spot the problem.
