If you have issues with a PDF it can be worth seeing if ghostscript can process it. Something like: gs -sDEVICE=tiff24nc -r96x96 -sOutputFile=test.tiff input.pdf ... will give you a (bad quality) render of the PDF as a TIFF file. If the command fails, it suggests that gs isn't coping with the pdf. On Debian you should try to make sure your `gs' is set to gs-gpl or gs-afpl not gs-esp . gs-esp is the CUPS patched gs, and is a bit ... odd. -- Craig Ringer
