I've been using Ghostscript in the command line with
gswin64c sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o out.pdf in.pdf
for a long time now with great success. Ghostscript's location is added to the Path variable setting in Windows 10. And today all of a sudden it stopped to work giving the following error message:

What I've tried so far
update Ghostscript from 9.54 to 9.55.0
different input file
rename input file
different folder containing the input file
copying the input file to the \gs9.55.0\bin\ folder
running the command line with admin privs
running windows logged in as admin
All to no success and always giving me the same error message. All the files tried are being displayed correctly in any pdf viewer.
What am I doing wrong here? And why suddendly?
Easily done but read the error undefinedfilename in (sDEVICE=pdfwrite)
Whilst not very clear, it thinks you are asking for that file to be processed.
However you should have just like for the -o output file switch added the switch - signal.
Then if there is no IN file the message changes
gswin64c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o out.pdf in.pdf

Just a side note that it can sometimes reduce later issues if you get into the habit of using
gswin64c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o"out.pdf" -f"in.pdf"
When converting a PDF to a jpg thumbnail, this error occurs:

Sometimes it does convert, and other times not, it is rather fuzzy.
Ghostscript is found, as it is in the same path as convert.

Hi I couldn't change size or divide vendor in nuxt what makes server doesn't want to load and after few seconds quit.
The issue is I was about introducing nuxt auth when the server unluckily returned this. terminal response is below.
Earlier everything works good but unexpectedly doesn't want to load and after few seconds server quits every time I tried to run this app.
In addition even after removing part of code before server runs good, this error still occurs or after creating new project vendor is still to big but everything works until exceeding size a bit by adding some file.
I found out this issue is connected to the size of the vendor and
tried to modify build in nuxt.config.js to change size of chunks or even try to divide it to smaller part but nothing works.
Does anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

GPL Ghostscript 9.20 (2016-09-26)
Copyright (C) 2016 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
Firstly, you are using an ancient version of Ghostscript in your GraphicsMagick. I know that version has returned 9.20, but if you look in the error log you posted you will see "GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1". So your GraphicsMagick installation is using 8.70.
This looks to me like its caused by the fact that all the output files are being sent to the same filename. The switch -sOutputFile=/tmp/gm2BfrxJ will write all the pages to a single file. If you want them to go to multiple files then you need to specify multiple page output, eg -sOutputFile=/tmp/gm2BfrxJ-%d or similar.
I suspect the problem is simply that GraphicsMagick isn't set up to deal with multiple page files like this. Do the conversion one page at a time. Or have Ghostscript render the pages to JPEG for you.
How do you give tell ghostscript to use a "fallback" font if a font can't be found?
When executing this Ghostscript command:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/output.pdf /input_pdf_with_missing_font.pdf
I am receiving this error:

You need a newer version of Ghostscript (it would help with these sorts of questions if you would state the version in use).
You appear to be using version 8.70 which is now more than 7 years old, the current version is 9.20. The current version ships with a default CIDFont (your PDF file fails to embed a CIDFont, not a Font).
You will have to check the documentation supplied with Ghostscript 8.70 to see how to define substitute resources (see the Ghostscript installation folder and then the 'doc' subfolder), I don't recall if the current method works with such an archaic version. However the current version documentation on CIDFont substitution can also be found here
I took #KenS's advice and installed Ghostscript to 9.20 (I wanted to keep the old version in place for other legacy projects)
Here are the steps (I followed these instructions):
Locate the source package of GS: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases
In my case: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs920/ghostscript-9.20.tar.gz
Run the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget
https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs920/ghostscript-9.20.tar.gz
tar xzf ghostscript-9.20.tar.gz
cd ghostscript-9.20
./configure --prefix=/usr/bin/gs9
make
sudo make install
And to run the new version:
/usr/bin/gs9/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/some/target/file.pdf /some/source/file.php
And no more font issues!!
