PostScript errors
The list below is a mixture of both PostScript errors and offending commands. Each link takes you to more detailed information and possible work-arounds. It may be worthwhile to check both the error message and the command that caused the error to appear.
If you are not entirely sure which PostScript error you encountered, first read this page. If you encountered an error that is not listed and managed to find more information about it, please add a comment about it to this page. Thanks!

when i am trying to make a pdf file from a .prn file which was generated by coreldraw, i get the following error. from corel draw i use a printer with name xitron RIP.
thank you,
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: -0,00709 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I have an Illustrator file that I created and I made a change to a gradient and then saved the file. When I tried to reopen the file I got the error message listed below. Thanks for your help:
Offending operator: “Bg”
Context:
-293.6436 3.81445 -303.502 -12.5605 -314.9639 -24.0186 c
Bb
1 (Unnamed gradient 2) 0 0 90 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 Bg
The first error is trivial: PostScript requires decimal point, not comma. The second is an Illustrator error rather than a PostScript error. You can contact me at alexcher@quadnet.net if you have any questions.
Thanks Alex – that first one is so obvious I should have noticed it myself. I’ll add a note to the ‘Undefined’ error description for this type of error.
We are trying to print different dot tone for a 4 color process screen print job and we have a screen writer 4 Xante. It gives us a post script error of
stack:

Could you help me out with how I can fix it
It can be difficult to troubleshoot PostScript errors. Without knowing the actual error and offending command it is next to impossible. I think you need to take a new look at the error message since you omitted the most important part.
Hi, I take this error when I try to print a preview view for a database report.
Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: Sign
I was searching for internet but I didnt found nothing.
Thanks for all and sorry for my english.
I got an error “PS error : stop”
I don’t think that there actually is a PostScript error called ‘Stop’. Check the PostScript error and the reported offending command a bit better – either of them is bound to show up in the overview of errors on this site.
I was trying to open an AI file, and it’ says offending operator: ” ” context: %AI10-BeginSymoiList
when i have other people to open the file, they were able to open and by select “PDF compatible”, and saved it, then i was able to open myself. Would you help to explain this issue for me ?
thanks a lot.
