[9fans] page of pdf generates the following

[Brantley Coile]

When I try to open a pdf I received from a vender
I get the following:

term% page *PowerSequ*.pdf
reading through pdf...

Anyone know how to decode the above?  Anyone know
how to fix this?  The number of pdfs that page/gs
can not deal with is getting annoying.

somone, nashi? ported a newer version of GS which is a little more tolerant to
modern PDFs.

it has problems with some others.  i sometimes have to switch between them.
i've never understood why postscript is so hard to do, but
then i never understood the attraction of xml schema or
java, especially having read some, so i'm probably just thick.

It's not me.  I guess you were mentioning Okamoto-san's effort
(AFPL ghostscript-8.13+hpijs-1.5).
