[Tex/LaTex] Ghostscript error: ERROR -15 closing pdfwrite device

compilingghostscript

Consider the folllowing example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\newif\ifprint
%\printfalse
\printtrue

\makeatletter
\@ifpackageloaded{hyperref}{
  \ifprint
    \hypersetup{
      pdfauthor={Søhest},
      pdfsubject={Eksamenssæt}
    }
  \else
    \hypersetup{
      pdfauthor={Søhest},
      pdfsubject={Eksamenssæt}
    }
  \fi
}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}

Note: Of course the code in the example is rather pointless since there is no difference between \printfalse and \printtrue but I have stripped the code as much a possible (I think).

I compile using latex –> dvips –> ps2pdf and get the following error:

GPL Ghostscript 9.07: ERROR -15 closing pdfwrite device. See gs/psi/ierrors.h for code explanation.

I can't figure out how to fix this problem (and a search hasn't given me anything useful).

P.S. I upgraded my system from Fedora 18 to 19 yesterday and the problem started occuring thereafter.

Best Answer

A friend of mine found a very simpel solution: Simply use

ps2pdf13

instead of

ps2pdf

and everything is fine (at least for the documents I have tried so far).

Update

The error is now fixed but one gets the following message:

GPL Ghostscript 9.07: PDFDocEncoding 0 cannot be represented in Unicode

I have send a question to the Fedora team and asked what I shuold do about it. (I'll add their answer here if it is relevant.)

Update 2

Now, ps2pdf is working flawlessly on Fedora when upgrading to the newest version of Ghostscript.
