Error Undefined Offending Command
a PostScript error Applies to : Illustrator InDesign PageMaker Photoshop PostScript printer drivers You can receive a PostScript error when sending a file to a PostScript interpreter (for example, a printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter can't read the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one or more of the limits in the PostScript page description language. If your PostScript interpreter appears to process data but then stops, a PostScript error could have occurred.A PostScript error message includes a PostScript error type, which defines the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part of the PostScript code that the interpreter couldn't read. The offending command usually indicates the command that caused the problem. Some PostScript errors point you right to the cause of the problem, and some get you looking in the right direction.Example of a PostScript error:%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%For example, the PostScript error %%[Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%% contains the PostScript error type "dictfull" and the offending command "def." The error type indicates that the dictionary contains the maximum number of entries. The offending command is the last command the PostScript interpreter tried to process, "def," which defines a new word in the dictionary. View or print a PostScript error message If you think a PostScript error has occurred, but it doesn't appear onscreen or in your printout, you can sometimes view or print the error message.

What's STACK? up vote 3 down vote favorite I'm receiving a mysterious error when printing a .PDF. The exact message it prints out (wrong linebreaks) is: ERROR: undefinedresult OFFENDING COMMAND: itransform STACK: 2380.1 3366.1 I've already accepted the error and offending command specifications are too general to be of any help. What I'm wondering about is the http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/15733/adobe-pdf-error-when-printing-whats-stack STACK details. What is it?

Postscript, the technology behind PDFs, is a programming language in its own right. But unless you are a programmer who understands Postscript, that will do little to help troubleshoot the error. I would say that something happened when the PDF was being created, some odd transformation that the Postscript driver had a hard time understanding, either because the complexity of the effect or there could have been a bug in the driver that created the PDF, that is in turn causing the printer driver to have a hard time. One workaround that sometimes works is, in Acrobat, go to the Advanced settings in the Print window and select "Print as image." Either way, you will have to tr
Photoshop PSD file to a PDF. Distiller doesn't support the PSD file format, it is meant to receive PostScript data. Solutions The best solution is to directly save the image in PhotoShop as a PDF file. Another solution https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/8bps is to place the image on a document in a layout application and generate a https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22895046/printing-pdf-problem-Error-undefined-Offending-COMMAND.html PDF from this document. You might also be able to save the image as an EPS and send this file to Distiller. 9 August 2013 Comments Off on Offending command: 8BPS Comments are closed.

Unfortunately it is clearly creating a postscript output that is incompatible with your lexmark. You can workaround this problem by avoiding acrobat generated postscript. For this you can e
