I m converting a pdf into image using ghostscript

It almost produces good images but for one pdf the created image is having a white strip

however this strip is not present in the original pdf.

script which i hv used is below

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=2 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -sOutputFile=fileName.gif -dJPEGQ=100 -r300 -q pdfName.pdf -c quit

Here the created image http://www.pictureshack.us/images/65486_1.gif

i am using Ghostscript 8.70 and the issue is fixed for the latest update i.e 9.06, but i cant upgrade to this…moreover found the issue its due -r300, so when i specify resolution of 100 then it works fine for this pdf but not for many other pdf…

    You don’t say what version of Ghostscript you are using, and you haven’t provided the original PDF file, so I can’t test it on current code. However, this ‘looks like’ a transparency bug, and may well be fixed in recent versions of Ghostscript.

    I would suggest you upgrade to 9.06 if you haven’t already and try that. If the problem persists please open a bug report at http://bugs.ghostscript.com Please attach the original PDF file and the command line you are using.
