    <p>Its not really possible to comment without seeing a PDF file, but a number of the command line options you are using there don't make sense in the combination you have.</p> <p>The <em>first</em> thing I would do is stop piping the commands like that, at least while investigating the problem. Do it as 2 stages, that will allow you (and others) to look at the intermediate PDF file.</p> <p>Secondly, I don't believe you can do what you seem to be trying to do. It looks like you are trying to pipe the PDF produced by the first invocation of gs through the second invocation. I don't see any way that will work, the pdfwrite device needs to seek around the file in order to create the xref table, it cannot use stdout, at least in the current version. What version of Ghostscript are you using ?</p> <p>I also can't see the point of this, why take a PDF, make a new PDF from it, and then render the second PDF ? Why not just render the original ?</p> <p>None of the media size switches you are specifying will have any effect, because you haven't told Ghostscript that the media size is fixed (using -dFIXEDMEDIA). As a result the PDF interpreter will set the media size to be the same as the MediaBox in the PDF file. Similar problems apply with sending PostScript and expecting it to alter the behaviour of Ghostscript when rendering a PDF file.</p> <p>Setting the resolution for pdfwrite is not a good idea, and will in general have no effect. Even if it does have an effect, you probably don't want to set it to be the resolution of the device (and the -g values seem to suggest this is not a 1200 dpi device either). The only effect the resolution has is when objects have to be rendered to images because the can't be represented in PDF. You don't want to create images at the printer resolution, somewhere between one quarter and one half the resolution is usually sufficient.</p> <p>If you'd care to share an example PDF file, I may be able to tell you how to solve your orientation problem. You will need to explain why you are running it through pdfwrite before going to PCL though, I can't see any reason for that.</p> <p>This:</p> <pre><code>gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\temp\out.pdf -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=2386.08 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=1685.7600 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage SamplePDFnewStamp.pdf </code></pre> <p>Will take your original PDF file and produce a PDF file rotated by 90 degrees. If I then do:</p> <pre><code>gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=\temp\out.pcl \temp\out.pdf </code></pre> <p>I get a PCL file that, when processed by GhostPDL with appropriate media size, seems to do what you want.</p> <p>I haven't tried it, due to lack of an actual device to print on, but I would expect that:</p> <pre><code>gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=\temp\out.pcl -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=2386.08 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=1685.7600 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage SamplePDFnewStamp.pdf </code></pre> <p>would produce the same file in one step.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rila3.png" alt="This is the result"></p>

    1. COI just found a way to convert my [PDF (DIN A1) to PCL (DIN A3)](https://transfer.doppelmayr.com/pickup.php?claimID=ijTpB4p8Hv9DebCv&claimPasscode=vPEwdCdEuiCCkPZD&emailAddr=hl%40doppelmayr.com)<br/>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
