Package: poster
Version: 20020830-2
Severity: important

I got a pdf file from
http://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/wahlen/download/karte_wahlkreise_16dbt_a1.pdf
and used pdf2ps to convert it to postscript.
it's size is A1, gv can show it correctly

as my printer only accepts A4 pages, it tried to use poster to make a
poster of it: poster -v -iA1 -mA4 -pA1 -o out.ps 
karte_wahlkreis_16dbt_a1.ps

but when now viewing out.ps with gv, the correct content just flashes
shortly and then there is a white page with only the adjusting markers
(the thing configurable with -c option) on it.
using -c 0 will result in a white page, all the same using gv , gimp or
sending data to printer

after I downloaded original poster programm from
ftp://ftp.ics.ele.tue.nl/pub/users/jos/poster/poster.tar.gz and compiled
it, the newling compiled poster produced (with the same options) correct, 
well-working
postscript output, therefor I do not expect the postscript file to be
corrupted.

sincerly,
 mbraun
