Tested Systems

  • Debian 18 Jessie 32bit & 64bit
  • Debian 17 Wheezy 32bit & 64bit
  • Ubuntu 16 32bit & 64bit
  • Amazon Linux AMI 2016.09 32bit
  • MacOS X Yosemite 10.10.5
  • Windows 10 64bit - CygWin64
  • Windows 10 64bit - Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Please report your system

It would help me a lot to know in which systems you have successfully run pdfScale.sh.
If you could not run pdfScale.sh in a system, please open a new issue.

Relevant commands

$ cat /etc/*release 2>/dev/null
$ uname -s -r -v -m -p -i -o
$ bc --version
$ gs --version
$ pdfinfo -v 2>dev/null || echo 'No pdf-info'
$ identify --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'No identify'

Template for reporting a system:

Just copy and paste this into your answer and then copy and paste each code block on its place.

# Enter Distro / System name here
#### release
```
$ cat /etc/*release 2>/dev/null

#### main use
**Use for resizing:** YES/NO - what papers?
**Use for scaling:** UP/DOWN - printing margins?
**Use for auto-rotation:** YES/NO - which option?
**Use flip-detection:** YES/NO, which option?
**Use adaptive-mode:** YES/NO (why on earth NO?)

Feel free to add/omit stuff, most important thing is to know the distro you are running

main use

Was just testing on this system, tested all functions.

Ghostscript complained about fonts and pdfScale showed an error, but the file was (NOT, sic) created successfully in all cases.
EDIT: The error was actually on the PDF file and this execution failed to generate a valid PDF file. Seems like the native PDF generator from Microsoft is incompatible with ghostscript. When I tried on a valid PDF from another system, all went fine. If you get this error, you will probably need to fix/regenerate your PDF to use it with pdfScale.

Error run:

Thanks for the report! 👍

Hopefully I will be able to implement the pending changes next month.
Then I will need to re-test it on all sorts of systems and files.
This version is pretty stable though. Been like this for a while.

Adaptive mode will become kind of obsolete then. I will probably keep all modes just in case someone wants to force a detection mode for performance sake (if transforming thousands/millions of files in a batch script). Also, can't hurt to keep it fail-safe.
