I have a generated postscript file (from trueprint) that I need to get
into a usable form on Windows, so I can view it and print it. I've
tried both
"ps2pdf" and "gs", with no success so far.
I first tried using "ps2pdf". This fails with:
---------------
% ps2pdf tp.ps tp.pdf
GPL Ghostscript 8.62: **** Could not open temporary file
/c/DOCUME~1/User/LOCALS~1/Temp/gs_dwvfJL
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
---------------
It isn't an obvious permissions problem, because I can "touch" that file
with no problem.
Confirm - with for instance "type -a ps2pdf" or "which ps2pdf" if you're
really invoking the ps2pdf you believe you're invoking, and if not, fix
your installation and/or the PATH variable (though Windows's dialogue).
I've had all sorts of issues when my Cygwin box inadvertently ended up
using the notoriously-outdated ps2pdf that got installed by MATLAB and
ended up earlier in the $PATH...
I then tried just "gs tp.ps", and that fails with this:
------------------
% gs tp.ps

Is the output file in use? You cannot overwrite open file because most
(not all) applications lock their input files. A notable exception for PDF
viewers is SumatraPDF.
