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 error undefined offending command stack printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter can't read error limitcheck offending command image the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one or more of the xerox error undefined offending command stack 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 syntax error offending command stack 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 http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/15733/adobe-pdf-error-when-printing-whats-stack I'm wondering about is the STACK details. What is it? Could it give any help whatsoever? pdf printing share|improve this question asked Feb 6 '13 at 11:59 JackWilson 13816 The numbers under STACK are probably the location on the stack and an error code that was thrown when something wrong was caught. –OghmaOsiris Feb 6 '13 at 18:28 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted "STACK" is a programming term used to describe functions currently in use to accomplish a particular task. 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 s
the Basics section to determine exactly what PostScript error and offending command you got hit with. Then do one of the following (not necessarily in that order but this seems to be the most logical approach to me): 1. https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/tips Try printing one more time Take a deep breath, look through the window during https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors a couple of seconds, check all the parameters in the Print windows and print again. Sometimes a simple mistake like setting the orientation wrong causes errors. Have a colleague print the job. He or she may instantly see what you did wrong. Everybody makes a stupid mistake once in a while (I once spent 2 hours offending command troubleshooting a ‘broken' Mac, only to find out the keyboard wasn't plugged in properly). This is definitely the first thing to try if no other documents or applications cause similar problems. 2. Cut the print job into smaller pieces Don't print large jobs with many pages or big images in one go. Print a couple of pages at the time or even one single page at the time. This makes it error undefined offending easier for both your computer and the RIP to process the file. Always try this approach if you have an older printer or RIP. 3. Search for solutions for your specific error Look up both the error and offending command in my database of PS errors and offending commands. This may give you a clue as to what to do next. Check out other sites as well by searching the web for pages about the specific PostScript error or offending command. Another alternative is to post your question on the b4print prepress forum. 4. Switch to another computer, app, driver,… Print the job from another computer, from another version or copy of the application used to create the file and try switching drivers. Always print the file to another PostScript device as well. If the same error occurs, you are at least sure the error is somehow related to your document or the way it is created or printed. The reverse is not true: if a document prints on one device but not on another, this does not mean that that device is unreliable or faulty. The inconsistency may be caused by differences in drivers, memory and hard disk capacity, installed fonts,workflow or PostScript revisions. PostScript aims to be device independent
