Hi there,
from time to time I use PDFcreator together with Word and PDF-T-Maker to convert file with hyperlinks.
Recently I found out that I don’t get any PDF at all when I convert the .ps file to .pdf using the following command line (that always worked before):
c:\Program Files (x86)\PDFCreator>PDFCreator.exe /IF".ps" /OF"
.pdf" /NoPSCheck /NoStart
In the PDFcreator logfile I can see:

Is it a known issue? or is there anything wrong in what I’m doing?
Thanks!

Hi,
the “ColorConversionStrategy is incompatible to ProcessColorModel” error was noticed when the setting under options->formats->pdf->default settings is set to “screen”, “ebook” or “printer”. If you need these settings you might need to install an older ghostscript or even PDFCreator version.
regards,
Robin
Hi Robin,
thanks a lot for your answer! the issue is now solved!
The “default settings” you mention are on “default”. I changed the Compatibility option in the PDF-T-Maker “PDF Usage” from “screen” to “Prepress service” and everything went back to normal.
Thanks for the support!
BR,
M.
