Hi, Not a major issue as things seem to otherwise be working, but I am getting the following error message when running pdfscale to resize some Illustrator PDFs.

PdfScale: ERROR! Ghostscript Debug Info: The old, written in PostScript, PDF interpreter has been removed entirely. You should cease using -dNEWDPF as it has no effect now. Continuing to process PDF file using the new, written in C, PDF interpreter.

The command being run is pdfscale -v -r 'custom pt 2574 1724' -c full "MBL - trollveggen - A0.pdf" "MBL - trollveggen - 60x90.pdf"

And the verbose output:

pdfscale v2.5.8 - Verbose Execution Single Task: Resize PDF Paper Dry-Run: FALSE Input File: MBL - trollveggen - A0.pdf Output File: MBL - trollveggen - 60x90.pdf Get Page Size: Adaptive Enabled Method: Grep Source Width: 3382 postscript-points Source Height: 2395 postscript-points Print Mode: Print ( auto/empty ) Scale Factor: Disabled (resize only) Fit To Page: Enabled (default) Auto Rotate: PageByPage Flip Detect: No change needed Run Resizing: CUSTOM ( 2574 x 1724 ) pts Cropbox Reset: FULLSIZE ( 2574 x 1724 ) pts Final Status: Error detected. Exit status: 0

pdfscale version is 2.5.8 and ghostscript is 10.02.1 (2023-11-01), running on macOS Sonoma 14.0 and Apple silicon.

Got this here too, with gs 10.0

Everything seems to work, but the message is annoying.

I just deleted that line, and everything seems OK. It would be interesting to know why anybody put it in there.

Some versions of GS require it. I will change it to an optional parameter.

v2.5.9 added the --newpdf parameter and disabled using -dNEWPDF=false by default.
Cheers
