Ghostscript 9.50 and SAFER mode

Post by fredrikhultin »

I try to get info about a pdf containing vector graphics using the -info and -fullinfo commands but gets stopped by GhostScript:

Code: Select all

 % nconvert -info -v 0B9B69567B7311E8BBEC47C09B5CFF74.pdf

As far as I can understand this has to do with GhostScript 9.50 since they now defaults to the SAFER mode.
Is there any way I can send parameters through to GhostScript or could you add some way to disable the SAFER mode in GhostScript?
