Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04LTS
Ghostscript Version: 9.18
Generated file size: 1280KB
OS: Ubuntu 14.04LTS
Ghostscript Version: 9.10
Generated file size: 556KB
We found a problem about Ghostscript:
When converting from PDF file to PS data using the Ghostscript command, the PS
data generated by Ghostscript 9.18 on Ubuntu 16.04LTS is twice as large as the
PS data generated by Ghostscript 9.10 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Due to the increase
in size, the printing speed will be severe slow down on Ubuntu 16.04LTS.
The following is the Ghostscript command which we use for converting from PDF
file to PS data:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=ps2write
-sOUTPUTFILE={out_ps_file_path} -dLanguageLevel=3 -r600 -dCompressFonts=false
-dNoT3CCITT -dNOINTERPOLATE -f sample.pdf
We'd like you to answer the following questions.
1. Is it Ghostscript's specification or bug?
2. If it is a bug, do you have any plan to fix it?
3. Is there any workaround?
