Here is the scenario. We have drawing package that generates
HPGL. We used a filter provided by Frame to generate an EPSI
file from the HPGL file generated by the drawing package (the
filter is called hpgltoepsi). We then included that EPSI file
into a FrameMaker document.
When we print out the file with FrameMaker on a Sun to a
LaserWriter Plus, it prints the document. If we print out the
file with FrameMaker on a Mac to a LaserWriter II, it generates
the error:
ERROR: dictfull
OFFENDING COMMAND: def
STACK:
{}
/path_right
Frame Technologies, Adobe and some PostScript experts couldn't
explain why this happened. One provided a workaround. I need
to know why this happens and a possible solution, since a large
amount of documents will be generated this way and printed from
a Mac. If anyone has any ideas please help!
