Hi,

The following PostScript code has been tested with other programs to convert PDF and works properly, but with the Acrobat Distiller generates error:

**** Part of PostScript code ****

/DIR_IM (D:\\CM\\Images\\) def
/IMCards (Cards.eps) def
/DIRCards IMCards length DIR_IM length add string def
DIR_IM DIRCards copy
DIRCards DIR_IM length IMCards putinterval
/CardsEPSh {DIRCards run} def
/Cards {
translate
Sfx CardsEPSh
} def

**** Error generated by Acrobat Distiller 8.0 ****


%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: run ]%%

Stack:
(D:\\CM\\Images\\Cards.eps)
(D:\\CM\\Images\\)
(D:\\CM\\Images\\)
(D:\\CM\\Images\\)
(D:\\CM\\Images\\)


%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%


I think there should be a setting in Acrobat Distiller, as in other applications working properly.

I appreciate your help to find the error might be going

Regards,

Luis Fdo.

Isn't there a flag when calling distiller to allow unrestricted file access?

Hi Helge,

Thank you very much for your help, I needed the /F and now everything works fine.

Regards,

Most run commands are locked out of Distiller, starting with Acrobat 8.

Running acrodist-F from the command line seemed to work with Acrobat 8
and 9, but even this was apparently discontinued from Acrobat 10.

The only solution I have found is to switch to Ghostscript.
See my blog for the ongoing saga.
