1. PDF Generation

Creating PDF documents from PostScript using pdfmark operators and PDF-specific features.

1.1. Introduction

While PostScript is a page description language for printing, PDF (Portable Document Format) is based on PostScript but adds document structure features. PostScript can generate PDF through Distiller or Ghostscript using special pdfmark operators to add PDF-specific features like bookmarks, links, and metadata.

1.2. Basic PDF Structure

Understanding PDF document structure and basic pdfmark usage.

1.2.2. Expected Output

When converted to PDF (using Ghostscript or Distiller):

  • Single-page PDF document

  • Document properties show title, author, subject, keywords

  • Page displays title, description text, and red circle

  • Page number in footer

1.2.3. Document Info Fields

Standard PDF metadata fields:

  • /Title - Document title

  • /Author - Author name

  • /Subject - Document description

  • /Keywords - Search keywords

  • /Creator - Application that created the source

  • /Producer - PDF conversion tool (set by converter)

  • /CreationDate - Creation timestamp

  • /ModDate - Modification timestamp

1.2.4. Converting to PDF

Use Ghostscript to convert:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.ps

1.6.2. Expected Output

Single-page PDF containing:

  • Grayscale gradient image

  • RGB color image

  • Combined vector graphics and image

  • Framed image with caption

All images are embedded in the PDF and display properly across all viewers.

1.6.3. Image Integration

Image types in PDF:

  • Grayscale (1 component)

  • RGB (3 components)

  • CMYK (4 components, for print)

  • Indexed color (palette-based)

Best practices:

  • Use appropriate resolution (72-300 DPI)

  • Compress images when possible

  • Embed all required data

  • Consider file size vs. quality

1.7.2. Expected Output

PDF with comprehensive metadata:

  • Document info (title, author, etc.)

  • Viewer preferences (window behavior)

  • Page layout settings

  • Custom XMP metadata

  • Properties visible in PDF reader

1.7.3. Metadata Purposes

Document information:

  • Identifies document and author

  • Enables searching and cataloging

  • Appears in file properties

Viewer preferences:

  • Controls initial view

  • Sets window behavior

  • Configures UI elements

Security (implementation-specific):

  • Restricts operations

  • Requires password

  • Controls permissions

1.8. Troubleshooting

1.8.1. Common Issues

pdfmark not working:

  • Requires conversion tool (Ghostscript/Distiller)

  • Not all viewers support all features

  • Check pdfmark syntax carefully

Bookmarks not appearing:

  • Ensure /Count values are correct

  • Bookmarks must be defined before pages

  • Check for matching /Title and /Page

Links not clickable:

  • Verify /Rect coordinates match text position

  • Check /Action dictionary syntax

  • Ensure /Subtype /Link is specified

Metadata not visible:

  • Check /DOCINFO pdfmark placement

  • Some fields may not display in all viewers

  • Use PDF properties dialog to verify

Images not embedded:

  • Ensure complete image data in PostScript

  • Check image operator (image vs. colorimage)

  • Verify data source format

1.9. Performance Tips

  • Define pdfmarks early: Place metadata at file start

  • Optimize images: Use appropriate resolution

  • Minimize bookmark depth: Limit nesting levels

  • Test conversion: Verify with target PDF tool
