Convert the old Postscript files to PDF

I have some old files that I need to convert to PDF.  I think they are postscript files, but they have no extension.  They were created on a Mac in 1991.

Online converters also missed.  I've read about software called Ghostscript, but I don't have the slightest idea how to run.  It is obscene complex.  Something that has to do with the Homebrew, X 11 and MuPDF...  I struggled with him for a few hours, but I'm out of my depth.  It seems that you have to be a programmer able to read the FAQ...

%% [Error: undefined;] [OffendingCommand: md] %.

The above error is caused by the line:

Since the md is not defined

Unless you cut the ProcSet from your post, it should be listed under:

  • Convert Pagemaker 7.0 files to PDF and cannot do without a PostScript for Windows 7 64 bit printer driver.

    I am trying to convert Pagemaker 7.0 files to PDF and cannot do without a PostScript printer driver.

    The driver on the PM installation disc will not install.

    The driver is available on the Adobe Web site will not be installed.

    HP support cannot help me. They directed me to Adobe.

    Adobe technical support is no help at all unless I want to pay $140.00 to use the software that I have already purchased from them.

    Where and how can I get a PostScript printer driver for my Windows 7 64 bit computer?

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 8. There are a few options:

    1. in my case, I use Adobe Creative Suite CS3 as well. It comes with Adobe Acrobat 8.0, which must be upgraded to version 8.1.3 or about 64-bit support. This, however, works OK with PageMaker 7.0.

    2. There is a method using a printer driver called "imagesetter MS Publisher' which is actually Postscript and will do the job. You will need to do some research on it: I remember using this method when installing PM 7.0 under the preview release. I also noticed that there is a 'PS Microsoft class driver"Windows 8. Maybe it's worth a try.

    3. try a third free PDF writer. I have recommended Nitro Reader for some customers.

    I keep only PageMaker to open the old client files, and anything but trivial changes, I migrate files to InDesign (which opens the MP files date back as far as PM6). You can be a better buy InDesign (if only an older version) and do the same thing - it is a much better program and PM is blowing out of the water.

    Hi manojp35249311,

    Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.

    Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.

  • How to convert the old sync key (12 characters, no dashes) to the new sync key (31 characters, 5 dashes)?

    My sync key was of 12 characters, no dashes (xxxxxxxxxxxx). After uninstalling and reinstalling FF 3.6.13, Sync 1.6.1 refuses my sync key to 12 characters.
    I discovered, that the keys of synchronization for all users have been activated to 31 characters including 5 dashes (x-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). How can I get the new key for synchronization?
    I have no PC connected to Firefox Sync more but Firefox Home and 360 browser on my iPhone successfully sync. Unfortunately on the iPhone I can't display the sync currently used key. Is there a way to convert the old key to sync to the new?
    I need the bookmarks saved in my sync account.
    Thanks for your help!

    I had the same exact symptoms as you did. Here is my solution:
    I installed an older version of firefox sync (1.4.something, I think) and then added my account using my old short firefox sync key. When you try to synchronize, the out of date addon says to do synchronization, it must be updated. After update, I always signed, but now had the additional device to see my new long firefox sync key that was compatible with FF 4 b, etc. Everything works fine now and my computer is properly synchronize.

  • Delete the old log files from IDS4210

    Is it possible to delete the old files of the IDM event log? If this is not the case, what is the best way to remove them.

    Thank you

    Maged

    By default, the old log files are deleted automatically because the system fills the disk and the file age.

    You can manually "clean" by using the following procedure:

    Sign in as netrangr and cd in the/usr/nr/var directory.

    Run idsstop

    dump/usr/bin/RM-f / * errors / * iplog / * iplog/news / * iplog/dumpster / * new / * log.* erreur.*

  • The 11g using uninstall tool to remove the old binary files?

    Hi all

    I know that with 11g, the preferred method for deleting old binary files is to use the uninstall tool (in/deinstall/of-install $11G_HOME). However, is it possible for me to remove the old binary files using this tool?

    For example, my 11g ORACLE_HOME (that is to say that I want to keep and use) is /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db

    And I have the following binary files on a particular database server:

    Oracle@myserver:/opt/Oracle/product > ls

    10.2 11.1 8.1.6.2 8.1.7.1 8.1.7.4 9.0.1.0 9.2.0.2 9.2.0.5 agent
    10.2.0.3 11.2.0.3 8.1.7.0 8.1.7.3 8.1.7.4.32 9.0.1.1 9.2.0.4 9.2.0.6

    As you can see, I have binary files dating back to before the beginning of time (8.1.6, nice) and I wish I could clean it carefully.

    I tried to uninstall (just under the checkonly, to ensure that it "sees" the old house) 10.2 binaries using the 11 g uninstall tool and got the following error:

    /opt/Oracle/product/11.2.0.3/DB/deinstall/deinstall-Accueil /opt/oracle/product/10.2/db - checkonly
    Verification of the required files must be treated and...
    Please wait...

    ERROR:-House does not have to be defined for a deinstall linking in an ORACLE_HOME.
    Uninstalling the current House is supposed to.

    Any thoughts? I absolutely don't want to uninstall the current home!

    Mark

    If you want to get rid of the old the ORACLE_HOME, then you must use the corresponding version of uninstall and must be run from the ORACLE_HOME.

    The best way to remove the ORACLE_HOME is to deattaching the old ORACLE_HOME with inventroy and remove this old House.

  • How to remove the old context files after upgrade to R12.1.1

    Hello

    I upgraded 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 11.2.0.2).

    In the application manager under automatic configuration menu, I noticed that I have 4 files of context: 2 DB level and 2 for the Application Tier. Two of them are apparently old 11i system. How can delete them so I have two listed on this page. I have to add custom settings. When I tried to do it wrong by saying 'Customization is not permitted on the different versions of the configuration files.'.

    Thank you
    Sinan

    Make sure that none of the old context files are available on the servers (delete), make sure also that you have entered right in the FND_NODES table.

    For the error you get, please see these documents.

    Create a custom setting does not work - customization is not allowed on the different Versions of the Configuration [762590.1 ID] files

  • Show the name of file in PDF file

    Hi, hoping for help on what I think is quite a simple question.

    I want to create a single blank page PDF file that has a text field automatically and dynamically finished based on the file name of the pdf document. Thus, for example, if the file is named "My sample file.pdf", the pdf file is displayed "My sample file.pdf" and that is all. If I rename the pdf file in Windows Explorer to "My renamed file.pdf", when I then open the renamed "My file.pdf" file appears.

    I would then insert this PDF a page in an array of existing pdf files as their new No. 1 page to actually be a title for each page created automatically based on their current file name.

    My research suggests that is possible using Javascript in a text field or a form field (although I prefer the text field), however, that I have no experience with Javascript or its implementation of Acrobat, is impossible for me to do. The closest I got is a script that puts the name of the file in the background. Unfortunately this script maintains the new file name that comes to be superimposed on the old watermark of filename, rather that update. For more information the script was: -.

    this.addWatermarkFromText({)

    cText: this.documentFileName,.

    nTextAlign: app.constants.align.center,

    nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center,

    nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,

    nFontSize: 12,.

    ({nVertValue: 12});

    Ideally, I'd like the script to remove the file extension and if possible to split the output on two lines based on the file name part preceding / fact following a comma in the name of the file (which she would also deprive). For example, if one had a file named 'my sample file created the Monday.pdf', it would display as: -.

    My sample file

    created Monday

    If anyone has any ideas on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards and thanks in advance.

    Malcolm Mahr

    Add the following JavaScript to the document level:

    // Document-level JavaScript code
    (function () {
    
        // Get the file name of this document
        fn = documentFileName;
    
        // Get rid of the PDF extension
        fn = fn.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "");
    
        // Replace any comma/space combinations with a carriage return
        fn = fn.replace(/\, /g, "\r");
    
        // Set the field value
        getField("fn").value = fn;
    
    })();
    

    Replace "fn" in the statement of getField with the name of your multiline text field. This code runs when the form is opened. If you want to be updated when the file is saved, you can also place in case the Document were spared. Note that some operating systems and other things may have a problem with a comma in the name of the file. Underscore would be a safe alternative.

  • Download files, download only once, do not replace the old same files

    Hello

    For our company, we work with many files on firefox.

    On a computer, when we download a file (Open Office), it does not replace old file, we downloaded before. The system adds (1), (2), on behalf of the end of the file. When we have to save this file, we have so many files for the same thing but with several versions.
    In the Options, I checked that Firefox always ask for the download location. And enforcement, asking for all Open Office files.
    For other computers, there is no problem.

    Thank you.

    I think that, by resetting download action, can solve your problem.

    To reset all the how many files types are managed by Firefox, return to the default value:

    Open your profile folder:

    First, at the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, hover over the menu help and select troubleshooting information. The troubleshooting information tab will open.
    Then, in the Basics section of the Application, click Show file. It will open a window with your profile files.

    Then, at the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select leave
    Then, rename the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old.
    After all, restart Firefox.

    For more information, you can see this article to change the parameters of type file

    Hope this is useful
