to solve such an error? Why do PostScript errors even exist? What is a PostScript error? Every PostScript device contains a RIP (or Raster Image Processor). This is a computer that translates the pages you want error syntaxerror offending command to print from PostScript into a format that the PostScript device understands. If the error undefined offending command stack RIP encounters an error while performing this translation, it returns a PostScript error message to the device that send the file. The

error can be caused by bugs in the PostScript code itself, data corruption, limitations of the RIP and PostScript device processing the file, incompatibilities between different devices or applications, bad karma,… What do PostScript errors look

like? A PostScript error has two parts: the error and the offending command. Take a look at a typical PostScript error: %%[Error: limitcheck; Offending command: image ]%% The error tells you exactly what problem the RIP encountered while processing your file. In the example, it is a limitcheck. Thankfully, there are a limited number of errors that can occur on PostScript devices. I think there are about 30 or so but I error undefined offending command stack xerox could be wrong. The offending command signals what specific PostScript command (or operator as they are called) was being processed by the RIP when the error occurred. In some cases, the offending command doesn't really look like a command but it is a series of random characters. This means the RIP has encountered some information in your printfile that it considers to be a PostScript operator but is not. This can happen with corrupted images, bad network connections and so on. Can PostScript errors be solved? Well, this website wouldn't make much sense if that wasn't possible. Of course, it helps if you know the famous Adobe Red Book by heart. But knowledge of the PostScript language is no prerequisite for troubleshooting PostScript errors. In reality, it is often a matter of luck. Errors caused by bugs in applications or drivers are sometimes well documented and easy to resolve. The same is true for errors caused by limitations or bugs in the software of the RIP itself. Errors caused by corrupted data can be tricky to troubleshoot. The same is true for PostScript errors caused by incompatibilities between different applications and RIPs. Why do PostScript errors even exist? In a perfect world, error messages wouldn't exist. But unfortunately we are stuck in a real wo

with any fractional part discarded. Both operands of idiv must be integers and the result adobe postscript error is an integer. EXAMPLE: 3 2 idiv -> 1 4 2 idiv -> 2 -5 2 idiv -> -2 ERRORS: stackunderflow, typecheck, undefinedresult error unregistered offending command xshow SEE ALSO: div, add, mul, sub, mod, cvi Troubleshooting index Postscript Index idtransform dx` dy` idtransform dx dy dx` dy` matrix idtransform dx dy With no matrix operand, idtransform (inverse delta transform) transforms the device space distance https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/basics vector (dx`, dy`) by the inverse of CTM to produce the corresponding distance vector (dx, dy) in user space. If the matrix operand is supplied, idtransform transforms the distance vector by the inverse of matrix rather than by the inverse of CTM. A delta transformation is similar to a normal transformation, but the translation components (tx and ty) of the transformation matrix are not used, making the distance vectors be positionless in both user space and https://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~milanek/PostScript/Reference/PSL2ik.html device space. idtransform is the inverse of dtransform. It is useful for determining how distances map from device space to user space. ERRORS: rangecheck, stackunderflow, typecheck, undefinedresult SEE ALSO: dtransform, transform, itransform Troubleshooting index Postscript Index if bool proc if - removes both operands from the stack, then executes proc if bool is true. The if operator pushes no results of its own on the operand stack, but the proc may do so. EXAMPLE: 3 4 lt {(3 is less than 4)} if -> (3 is less than 4) ERRORS: stackunderflow, typecheck SEE ALSO: ifelse Troubleshooting index Postscript Index ifelse bool proc1 proc2 ifelse - removes all three operands from the stack, then executes proc1 if bool is true or proc2 if bool is false. The ifelse operator pushes no results of its own on the operand stack, but the procedure it executes may do so.
