Hi all,

Lately we are having problems using the ps2pdf converter from GhostScript. After some testing I found out GhostScript is not thread-safe at all. I tried several times to convert 18 PS files simultaneously, but the actual amount of converted files ranged between 5 and 9 each time.

I am convinced it has something to do with the temporary files "._at" and "._at2" GhostScript uses, but I am not experienced enough to hack this "bug" out of it.

Question 1: has anyone managed to make this thread-safe?
Question 2: is there any other option besides GhostScript that will convert PS to PDF? Is PDF995 thread safe for example?

Thanks for all the input!

Regards,

Peter

We decided to purchase VeryDoc ps2pdf converter as this converter advertises with "simultaneously" converting PS files. I tested it and it works.
