I've attached one error trace from loading AcroRead PostScript files into
GhostScript 4.0.3 below.
After further investigation, I notice that the PostScript that my Solaris
AcroRead and the Linux AcroRead kick out are the same except for a few
comments. I incorrectly assumed the PostScript the Linux version was
generating wasn't valid because GhostScript on my FreeBSD box couldn't read
it but the GhostScript on my work box (and the LJ4 at work) could. Bit of
a logic leap there.
Given this realization, I compared versions. I'm running Aladdin
GhostScript 2.6.1 (5/28/93) at work. Strange that it handles the
PostScript that AcroRead kicks out but version 4.03 doesn't. Anyway, that
seems to be the ticket.
