Yeah that's one of the links that I had for the download. From some of the help comments, it seems you have to download the 32-bit version even if you're running 64-bit because IM expects gswin32c.exe, not the 64c...
Good to know it's a common routine. I'll ask them if they wouldn't mind installing at their workstations if it isn't there Karen -----Original Message----- From: Dan Goldberg <[email protected]> To: rbase-l <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jun 21, 2017 10:42 am Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Re: Embedding PDF in a report Ghostscript is an open source library that many of the free pdf creators use to convert to pdfs. It is included in pdfcreator, in which I use. You can download the most current version on their website. https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html Maybe there is a way to run it without installing it.

Several people recommended ImageMagick, which I downloaded and successfully got it to do things like convert JPG to PNG, etc. However, in order for it to convert a PDF to any other format, it relies on there being a programgswin32c.exe, which their help forum says is "Ghost Script". Apparently newer computers (including my win10) do not have this program. There was a link to download it, website dating back to 2006, and it speaks to working thru Win XP. I'm reluctant to download it, and I'm guessing that all my users also wouldn't have this program so it'd be more work for them to install at every workstation. Can anyone enlighten me about this program and if it's okay to install? Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
