Thank you, it looks indeed, I get no more exception! However the result is  
not flawless. If I print a small Graphos test document however, I get an  
error from ghostscript (GSPdf calling it) saying:
%%[ Error: undefined%%[ Error: undefined


The file uses Helvetica and times new roman. If I roun gs directly on it  
it will exit with an unrecoverable error. I fear something with the font  
name:

"New Times" suggests "Times New Roman" (PS is stack based).
I attach the ps file.

I tried substituting "Times New Roman" with Courier and the generated PS  
files displays beautifully, if is used instead Courier New I again get an  
error, so I conclude it is a problem with the spaces in the font name.
