Ps2pdf: Unrecoverable error

Good Day all,

I'm new to ghostscript and have installed it in my unix system two days back.

But while using ps2pdf, I get the error pasted at the bottom.

I was able to convert my PS file via PDF Creator manually. But this error seems to be coming while using ps2pdf. My PS File is having both read and write access.

Can you please help me. Had gone through several sites, but couldn't find anything related to this error. Please let me know if you need more details.

Any help is really appreciated.

Code:

 
 which gs
/usr/local/bin/gs

command I used: ps2pdf RFLABEL30.ps test5.pdf

Error:

Code:

  
 Unrecoverable error:  ]%%; OffendingCommand: %%[ Error: :

LEARN ABOUT SUSE

ps2pdf12

PS2PDF(1)							    Ghostscript 							 PS2PDF(1)

NAME

       ps2pdf - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript
       ps2pdf12 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible) using ghostscript
       ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible) using ghostscript

SYNOPSIS

       ps2pdf  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
       ps2pdf12  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
       ps2pdf13  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]

DESCRIPTION

       The ps2pdf scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the functionality (but not the user interface) of Adobe's Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) prod-
       uct: they convert PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

       If the output filename is not specified, the output is placed is a file of the same name with a '.pdf' extension. Either the input filename
       or the output filename can be '-' to request reading from stdin or writing to stdout, respectively, when used as a filter.

       The three scripts differ as follows:

       -      ps2pdf12 will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible).

       -      ps2pdf13 will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible).

       -      ps2pdf  per se currently produces PDF 1.4 output.  However, this may change in the future. If you care about the compatibility level
	      of the output, use ps2pdf12 or ps2pdf13, or use the -dCompatibility=1.x switch in the command line.

       There are some limitations in ps2pdf's conversion. See the HTML documentation for more information. A large number of  Adobe  Distiller(TM)
       parameters  which  can  be  used to control the conversion are also documented there, including instructions for generating PDF/X and PDF/A
       documents.

OPTIONS

       The ps2pdf scripts use the same options as gs(1).

EXAMPLES

       Converting a figure.ps to figure.pdf:

	      ps2pdf figure.ps

       A conversion with more specifics:

	      ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress figure.ps proof.pdf

       Converting as part of a pipe:

	      make_report.pl -t ps | ps2pdf -dCompatibility=1.3 - - | lpr
