We have a customized PostScript driver in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS for dealing with logical symbols in a volume of mathematical logic papers. Our other PS drivers can be used to make PDFs in non-symbolic volumes, but not this one. We can print the math. logic pages, so it's curious that the same PS stream can't be turned into a PDF.

The error message from Adobe Distiller, after it processes the Prologue, is:

%%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice; ErrorInfo: InputAttributes --nostringval-- ]%%

I've located the only part of the .PS file that concerns setpagedevice and InputAttributes. It's here:

/manualfeed true put usertime 5000 add {dup usertime lt {pop exit} if} loop <</InputAttributes <<31<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
0 13200 10200 _ornt

"612 792" is the page size in points. Manualfeed is annoying in the printing task, but that's beside the point.

Any suggestions for getting to PDFs? Could some instructions be edited out of the .PS file? Thank you.
