PScript5.dll creates invalid PostScript: Offending command TZ

printing the file
 <http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/13110/pdf_test.pdf>
from Acrobat Reader creates the file
 <http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/13111/pdf_test.ps>
however this file cannot be printed but gives an error

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: TZ

the file can be viewed quite fine in any Acrobat Reader and prints fine from the Unix version of Acrobat Reader so I guess that it's a driver problem.

Is there any workaround for this ?

best regards
Christof

No, it can't be the driver. Acrobat Reader writes its own PostScript,
bypassing the driver.

Aandi is absolutely correct.

Furthermore, I have no problems printing it to my collection of PostScript printers.

What model printer do you have problems with?

I have heard several complaints about this. The file in question actually has been created with Acrobat Reader 0408 05:21 on a Windows XP box. The printer was Xerox DocuPrint N24 PS. I could not reproduce it with Acrobat Reader 6 on another XP box printing to the same printer.

If at all possible I'd like to know on which software the problem occures and what technically triggers the bug (i.e. is it possible to create the pdf file in a different way that avoids the problem ?).

Please let me know if you need more information.

(1) Acrobat Reader 4.0 is not supported for Windows XP. The first version of Acrobat Reader that Adobe explicitly supports for Windows XP is Acrobat Reader 5.0.5.

(2) Acrobat Reader 4.0 was replaced by Acrobat Reader 4.0.5 to resolve a large number of problems. Neither Acrobat 4.0 nor Acrobat Reader 4.0 should be in use anywhere due to the number of problems that were fixed by the free update to 4.0.5.

Bottom line is that you are using a non-supported version of Reader. Given that you are on Windows XP, you should totally uninstall the Acrobat Reader 4.0 you have and then download and install Adobe Reader 6.0.1. That will apparently resolve your problems.
