Convert PostScript PS File to PDF Format using C# .NET API - Avoid Error Undefined | Aspose.Page

Aspose.Page Product Family
1

I am trying use Aspose Page to convert a PostScript file to PDF using the sample code provided. I get a “%%[Error: Undefined; Offending Command: ndefined” error when trying. I am wondering if there are certain options that I need to set to convert this file or if Aspose Page just can’t convert it.

I have attached the file below:

@kmcbrearty,

The C# code that we used to test your scenario of PostScript (PS) to PDF file conversion with the latest (20.9) version of Aspose.Page for .NET API is as follows:

Aspose.Page.License lic = new Aspose.Page.License();
lic.SetLicense("Aspose.Total.Product.Family.lic");

System.IO.FileStream psStream = new System.IO.FileStream("Sample.ps", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
System.IO.FileStream pdfStream = new System.IO.FileStream("output.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);

PsDocument document = new PsDocument(psStream);

bool suppressErrors = true;
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions(suppressErrors);
Aspose.Page.EPS.Device.PdfDevice device = new Aspose.Page.EPS.Device.PdfDevice(pdfStream);
try
{
    document.Save(device, options);
}
finally
{
    psStream.Close();
    pdfStream.Close();
}

//Review errors
if (suppressErrors)
{
    foreach (PsConverterException ex in options.Exceptions)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

Above code produces an empty PDF of 3 Kb file size. It also outputs the following error message to the Console window:

%%[Error: Undefined; Offending Command: ←]%%

Operand Stack (bottom..top)
[ ]

Execution Stack (bottom..top)
[ --file (pipe) -- ← //Undefined ]
