Ghostscript and PDF
Patric
regarding PDF I thought I'd give it a second try. Checked I downloaded
an ARM7 save version of GS. Installed it, checked my wimpslot was big
enough and that GS was seen by the filer.
SysMerged SharedUnixLib too but still nothing happens.
In EasiWriter PostScript and PDF are both greyed out and that's that.
What exactly am I missing there?

Have you set up a Postscript printer driver and is it active on the icon
bar? You don't need to have a Postscript printer physically attached.

Reading the instructions?
Installation is more complicated than making GS seen by the filer. The
correct installation procedure for EasiWriter is given in the release notes
that came with version 8.60 (the one that added PDF export) and may be in
subsequent manuals (not sure on that). You need to install some Postscript
printer drivers as well, if you don't already have them: they came with your
machine, but won't be installed by default.
For PrintPDF (which is a separate piece of software), you need to do a
similar thing. The full process is clearly documented in the installation
section of PrintPDF's manual:
http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/software/printpdf/
I've a hazy memory that if you've installed PrintPDF, then EasiWriter can
use the same installation of Postscript drivers without any further steps,
but it's a while since I set that up so I could be wrong.

Yes, that is correct. EasiWriter/TechWriter can use any installed
PostScript 2 or PostScript 3 driver, whichever was active most
recently, and that includes PostScript drivers set up for use with
PrintPDF.

Ok, appears I must've deleted ALL printer drivers at some point. No
wonder I couldn't get any PDF output from EasiWriter. Well, since I
never tried to install a physical printer on the BB I probably hadn't
realized.
All corrected and EW's print to PDF function now also working.
Cheers for the hint!

Unfortunately it's been a short lived success. After autoloading
Printer set to PoScript EasiWriter refused to save as PDF on Re-Boot
and just "went wrong". Changing to PoScript2 or PoScript to PDF made
no difference.
I don't get the pattern. EW will sometimes save plain text as PDF but
always crash when trying to do the same with EW or *.doc files. No
matter what I try.
I guess it's hidden somewhere in the manual but haven't been able to
solve this mystery. Why do these things have to be so damn complicated
on RISC OS?

Well, in general they're not complicated!
Not quite sure what you mean by 'EW will sometimes save plain text as PDF
but crash when trying to do the same with EW or *.doc files'.
Any text or graphics in EW is effectively an EW file. I can't see any way
that it can be saved as PDF in any other form. The 'textiness' or
'dociness' of the file is surely irrelevant. (cue MW telling me that I've
got wrong! :-) )
I'm assuming that you have set !Printers up to load a PoScript2 driver on
boot and that it is the active printer. That is all that is really
necessary as far as I know. Well, it's how my setup works!
What happens if you then start EW, type in a bit of rubbish and go Menu->
Save-> PDF and drag the file to somewhere on the harddisk? Do you get a
PDF?

I see your point but just tried the following: typed "test" and saved
it as PDF. No problems. Opened a DOC file, told EW to do the same as
before but now it decided to go wrong due to an error in the printer
driver. On restarting EasiWriter I tried the same with a genuine EW
file and the entire PDF conversion went through without EW
complaining. The actual output however turned out to be just a plain
white PDF without any content.
I take it there's some mistake on my side in how to set up the printer
driver. Hmmm.

Strange. I can imagine that there is something strange in the .doc file
that upsets things but can't see why the EW file should give a blank page
PDF.
Dud your 'test' PDF give a blank PDF? Presumably not. Might be worth
trying several of the sample EW files provided with EW just to see if there
is any pattern.

Possibly. although there is so little to configure that is hard to see what
the problem might be!

Ok, thought I'd best start from scratch just in case something was
wrong with my old !printers. Downloaded the latest HD4 image,
extracted it and replaced the printing directory. The settings however
seem to have been saved elsewhere as it defaulted to my previously
saved PoScript2 printer.
Checked and deleted all the other Ghostscript copies. Made the ARM7
one which came with EasiWriter "looked at".
Re-booted and tried to convert one of EW's sample files, resulting in
"Ghostscript 8.54: can't find the initialization file gs_init.ps."
Downloaded the latest GS version for the BB from Martin's website.
Deleted the old one and installed it. Made it seen by the filer (look
at). Printer is being "run" at boot via configure.
Re-booted and again opened a sample file. Went to save, PDF. Again
EasiWriter went wrong due to this mysterious printer driver error.
WTF?
Am I missing something obvious there?

There is no point in trying PoScript (level 1). Please ignore that
driver. It can only serve to confuse matters.
As for setting up the printer driver: There is nothing to be set up,
so you cannot really make a mistake there. You can set the "Colour"
option and the paper size to your liking, but it will work no matter
which settings you choose.

Yes, I can reproduce this problem here. I cannot print from Draw
either, so that looks like a general problem with RISC OS on the BB,
not a problem with EW. There is a crash in the PostScript printer
driver, so EW cannot do anything about it. Very simple files do not
seem to trigger it, which is why just typing a line of text works
fine. As others have pointed out, there is no such thing as a "plain
text file" in EW. Whatever you create in EW is an EW file.

They are not normally complicated, but you should not forget that the
BeagleBoard is a rather recent, immature platform to run RISC OS on.
Maybe the PostScript driver is not stable yet on the BB?
There is anothing piece of evidence that this is a PostScript driver
problem: If you use the commercial PostScript 3 driver, everything
works as expected, both printing from Draw and saving as PDF from
EasiWriter. Switch to the PostScript 2 driver and printing from both
Draw and EasiWriter goes wrong.

EasiWriter does not tell you because the PostScript driver does not
actually return an error but crashes. EasiWriter is competent enough
to catch the crash, display a sensible error message and get the
system back into a stable state - quite in contrast to most other
applications. For instance, when I print from Draw, the whole system
crashes and I have to reboot.
Aha, what about switching alignment exceptions off? That cures the
problem here! It also explains why the forums are not full of
complaints about printing and PDF generation not working on the BB.
So, to summarize: The PostScript driver on the BB is broken, but it
does not crash if alignment exceptions are off. That, however, still
means that there is a bug and that it may well produce incorrect
output - as all things that only work with AE off.
So, that solves the problem in the short run. Someone should fix the
PS driver urgently, so it runs correctly on the BB.

I think you're right about the Post Script driver being broken.
Unfortunately I can't get a consistent error message but turning
alignment exceptions off, not the default setting on my BB, seems to
work. At least I've now been able to save a normal EW file as PDF
without further problems.

Well it's a bit complicated and frustrating if you're unable to get to
the bottom of it. Point taken though and there's always going to be
the problem with bits of old code floating around of which newer ARM7
save software is ignorant.

For me it's not a high priority at the moment but good to know that
the PS3 driver offers a solution. Guess I'll have to upgrade then!

Error from printer driver, Internal error:
abort on data transfer at &203169EC
cheers

For what it may be worth I am having a bit of a struggle to get PDF printing
to work on an ARMini.
Installed are !Printers 1.75, gs 8.54/1.05, !GView 1.52, !PrintDPF 0.87 and
!ps2pdf .004. Alignment exceptions are on.
The first hazard is finding something to print from, StrongED 4.69a4 gets
the oflas in its 'Printer driver' icon, and NetSurf r12443 gives up with a
"redraw error".
Using !Edit then. I can print to a PS2 file but cannot read that file with
!GView, "No writable memory at this address". (The same file can be read by
!GView on the Iyonix.) Attempting to print a PDF via !PrintPDF only gets as
far as generating the PS2 file, !PrintPDF appears to do nothing, possibly
for the same reason that that !GView stops.
Obligingly the 20th Century !ps2pdf does generate a PDF from the PS2 file.
As a last try before giving up for the evening I tried Zap to print a PDF
via !PrintPDF and got a "mysterious error", 'abort on data transfer at
&2038EC6C", offset 00003218 in Module PDriverPS. (Turning alignment
exceptions off and there was no such error but it splatted the screen with
the original text.)

The next day ...
!GView's "No writable memory at this address" error clears on increasing the
'GhostScript Wimpslot' in !GView's Choices to 4000k. !GView processes the
file but fails on displaying it, the window opens but with an "abort on data
transfer at &2002B2A0". (Turning exceptions off on the ARMini does allow
!GView to render the file.) This issue is associated with the use of a 32k
colour mode, which is the best I can get out my ARMmin on this monitor,
1600x1050@32k@55Hz. Put the ARMini into 16M colours or force !GView to use
16M in its Choices and !GView does render.
Increasing !PrintPDF's 'Taskwindow memory' setting in its Choices to an
empirical (or guessed) 10000K and a PDF is created.

It would be nice to now what the results from a :-
*Where
*showregs
The '*Where' should say which module is causing the problem.
Then you can give which module name/version the fault is in.

I'm now using the newer PostScript3 driver and that solved all my PDF
related problems. Setting up in the usual way, just as you'd expect
and working very nicely. The only mistake I initially made was not
correcting to the proper Adobe PDF version as mentioned in the
instructions.
Easy enough to do and certainly worth the upgrade!

After an exception *showregs shows the register contents, the command is in
the ROM Debugger module.
*where is a command line library utility that can show whose space the
exception address is. It is at http://www.armclub.org.uk/32bit/
*showregs is a bit useless on its own, the information *where adds is more
valuable.

I remember now! !InfoZip's !Boot has this :-
| Add Info-ZIP routines to Run$Path
If "<Infozip$Path>" = "" Then Set Run$Path <Run$Path>,Infozip:
Set Infozip$Path <Infozip$Dir>.Routines.
Less than helpfully the Routines directory contains a textfile called
"WHERE".

That's odd - as I understand it, colour depth makes no difference to
the resolution/frequency you can use.
I've certainly done 1600x1050 in 16M colours on my ARMini.

The problem is twinkling pixels, the monitor does lock to 16M colour
modes. The backdrop images supplied with the ARMini are very good at
revealing this issue.
>I've certainly done 1600x1050 in 16M colours on my ARMini.
To be really clear of the effect when viewing 16M colour images I need
to throttle back to 1028*768.
The monitor is an HP2229h.

Doesn't this sound like the effect of driving the VIDC chip too hard -
in a RPC - and why LCD's that can be driven at about 30Hz are be sort
after for the ARMini.
I wonder if it would be possible to fit a heat sink?
