@CHM FWIW, the gs command failed on my PDFs as well (I think they're just crippled documents), but @Jen's suggestion to go through Preview and convert to an image worked really well.

@CHM not knowing any details, I can only suggest to try using -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=newfile.ps instead. I've been a ghostscript package maintainer for several years, but I can't tell much from the error message you quoted without knowing version, platform, example, etc.

@Jens I've tried to use the gs command you've given above, but it doesn't work. GS can't open my device, it says.

| Mar 10, 2012 at 16:44 | comment | added | canadian_scholar | Thanks, Jens. This is great and will save me hours upon hours of work. I'm also on OS X so this would be perfect. | |
| Mar 10, 2012 at 16:41 | comment | added | Jens | OK - since it looks like you need it, I've added more specific info on ghostscript. I'm using it on Mac OS X, but it's cross-platform. | |

Thanks very much for your help. The command returns the same error Import::general : Expected cross reference table >>. I will look into ghostscript, I have never used it before.
