i have trouble running a postscript file in java, using ghost4j api. btw i have very little knowledge of ghostscript initialization parameters

Question

this is the code that i have copied from ghost4j official site.:

        BasicConfigurator.configure();

        Ghostscript gs = Ghostscript.getInstance();

        String[] gsArgs = new String[7];
        gsArgs[0] = "-dQUIET";
        gsArgs[1] = "-dNOPAUSE";
        gsArgs[2] = "-dBATCH";
        gsArgs[3] = "-dSAFER";
        gsArgs[4] = "-sDEVICE=display";
        gsArgs[5] = "-sDisplayHandle=0";
        gsArgs[6] = "-dDisplayFormat=16#804";

        try {

            gs.initialize(gsArgs);
            gs.runFile("input.ps");
            gs.exit();

        } catch (GhostscriptException e) {
            System.out.println("ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }}

This isn't a PostScript nor a Ghostscript question.

If I were you I would first try running Ghostscript from the command line with the same set of parameters and see if that works.

If it doesn't then you'll have more information to try and track down the problem.

The output in your question is not standard Ghostscript output and so must be produced from Ghost4j. You should drop the -dQUIET while you are trying to debug a problem, auppressing output won't help.

In fact I'd also drop the DisplayHandle and DisplayFormat, BATCH, NOPAUSE and SAFER switches. Finally you should put a fully qualified path in for "input.ps" in case the current directory is changed.
