Hi,

I ran a command:

pdfscale -v -v -r A5 -s 0.95 -a none <infile.pdf>

but got the following error that failed to produce output:

Thanks for posting this.
I wonder if we can know for sure which versions of GS should use -dNEWPDF.
Otherwise it would need to become yet another parameter (for people using those versions that require it).

Duplicate of #44 v2.5.9 added the --newpdf parameter and disabled using -dNEWPDF=false by default.
Cheers
