Moving on: Are you aware of
EK-O19AE-SG-005_MicroVAX_Troubleshooting_and_Diagnostics_May89.pdf
I wasn't. I picked up a copy and it turns out to be unreadable for me;
the ghostscript I have says "Unable to process JBIG2Decode data. Page
will be missing data.". Modern Ghostscript is no longer suitable for
open-source use, so I'm looking for alternatives, either other
PostScript renderers or something to replace the JBIG2Decode code in
the version I have. I have a few leads, but even in the best of
outcomes it will take time.
I ran across similar difficulties using a very old version of xpdf on VMS.
A less old version of xpdf (v3.02) worked for me. I didn't try that specific
file but I used to have problems with files containing JBIG2Decode data and
I haven't seen these problems since using v3.02.
