ghostscript error when I append pdf

[AndreZeug]

Hello, when I use export_fig to append pdf I get an Error message (see below) when using the latest Ghostscript gs9550w64. It is only when appending the pdf. When installing a previous version of GhostScript (gs9533w64) everything works fine.

Is this issue known? Did I install/configure something wrong? I use Win10 64bit, R2021b, export-fig (3.21)

Thanks for advise

Please ensure:

• that the function you used (D:\MATLAB\export_fig\export_fig.m) version 3.21 is from the expected location
• and that you did not made a mistake in export_fig's expected input arguments
• and that ghostscript is properly installed in C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\bin\gswin64c.exe

If the problem persists, then please report a new issue. In your report, please upload the problematic EPS file: C:\Users\LSM\AppData\Local\Temp\tp1e0be426_f301_4d5b_8712_49d6c440e730.eps (you can then delete this file).

Hello, I am experiencing a similar issue and so does this person https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1573263-operand-stack-and-execution-stack-error-using-append_pdfs

I use Win10 64bit, R2021b, export-fig (3.21), too. My error message says as follows: Error using append_pdfs (line 108) Error: /undefinedfilename in (G:\Shared drives\...\Volume in drive G is Google Drive \n Volume Serial Number is 1983-1116 \n \n Directory of G:\Shared drives\...) Operand stack:

The latest commit of append_pdf.m should improve the reporting/handling of invalid/missing input filenames, which is the suspected root cause of the errors above.

Hi thank you very much for your prompt reply and I will check my filename again and use the updated function.
