In fact, Artifex has re-done the gs rendering engine in gs, but I find the results even worse then the previous 10 year old versions of gs. To be fair, Artifex has "attempted" (with beyond terrible results) to add overprint support.

The result is a pdf that looks quite much the same, and as a result say viewing the PDF in a web browser or a smart phone looks quite much like the original. The only practical and simple way is to get your hands on the paid version of adobe acrobat, and run the pdf through their print driver with the simulate over print check box. That process takes a long time.Īny ideas how I can prepare a downscaled version of this file? Thanks.įrom what I can tell, there is no practical way in ghostscript to convert the print overlays simulation to a correct rendering and having them removed into another PDF> I guess I will go back to InDesign and export it with compressed downscaling. I can still select the text with the mouse, so I know it has not rasterized the fonts. Instead, it removed the text effect entirely: pdftocairo result screenshot I tried running the result through pdftocairo -level3 -antialias none -pdf, which has fixed the same kind of display problem after joining files with pdfjam, but that didn't work. My full command is: gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \īecomes this: blocky text effects screenshot I tried -dOverprint=true, but it said: GPL Ghostscript 9.55.0 () I tried to change that to -dOverprint=simulate, but it said: Invalid value for option -dOverprint=simulate, use -sNAME= to define string constants This software is supplied under the GNU AGPLv3 and comes with NO WARRANTY: When I tried that, ghostscript said the following: **** -dSimulateOverprint= ****Ĭopyright (C) 2021 Artifex Software, Inc. I assumed I would want to try -dSimulateOverprint=true. Ghostscript - don't show objects with overprint set

How to simulate overprinting for a pdf device using ghostscript
(Outer glow around text, generated from InDesign.) In Acrobat or when printing this on an inkjet I have to use "Simulate Overprinting" to get the text effects to appear correctly. I'm trying to downres a PDF with text effects over high-res graphics to ebook resolution.
