The file is book.ps.gz, 2531465 bytes, from Apr 5 04:01. E.g. the screenshot on page "18" (34 of 601) is completely missing. I am certain this is not a "page protection" or similar problem, the laser printer has 136 MB of RAM. Similarly the PDF document cannot be opened from acroread 4.05-5 (white pages and wrong page count by factor of 10). The problem pages appear to be displayed correctly for a split second but then are rendered a second time but without the screenshots. >How-To-Repeat: I tried to print from a Debian (testing) and Windows machine. Printing using gv 3.5.8-26 and ghostview 1.5-27: no screenshots Printing using xpp 1.0-3.1: no screenshotsPrinting using printer's internal PS capabilities: no screenshots Opening book.pdf using acroread: fails to load Opening book.pdf using Windows: Acrobat 5 will not load document ("There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)." Converting book.ps to book.pdf using Distiller: still no screenshots >Fix: Recreate handbook, use newer/other/better PS/PDF converters, maybe use PDF 1.3 as output format. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
