2.2.1 - No valid Ghostscript version found

PDFCreator PDFCreator English

We've been using PDFCreator 1.7.3 and I'm just in the process of upgrading our C# .NET application to work with 2.2.1.

The only issue i'm now having is that the application throws an exception "No valid Ghostscript version found." when calling NextJob on the queue. I've read that there was a similar issue with 2.1, though this is a fresh install of 2.2.1.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks, Matt.

_PDFCreatorQueue.Initialize();
_PDFCreatorPrinter.PrintFile(fi.FullName);
var _PDFCreatorJob = _PDFCreatorQueue.NextJob;
_PDFCreatorJob.SetProfileByGuid("DefaultGuid");
string copyDest = convertedPath + claimPackFile["FileName"] + ".pdf";
_PDFCreatorJob.ConvertTo(copyDest);

I fixed this by installing http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/gs910w32.exe and overwriting the existing newer version in the PDFCreator installation.

Hi,


thanks for the feedback, this should also help others running into this issue.
Now we only need to find out, why this happens, as the current versions shouls install a patched version of gs 9.10 (fixed an issue for PDF/A creation but otherwise identical). Can you remember which Ghostscript version was overwritten?

best regards,

Hi Robin,


Thanks for the reply. I overwrote the version that came with PDFCreator by default, however I can’t remember which version this was. I also tried our application on a PC with a fresh installation of PDFCreator which had the same issue and was resolved in the same way.

Thanks, Matt.
