Non-ascii characters in path

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

PDFcreator 2.1.2 cannot print pdf file when there are non-ASCII characters in path to user temp dir. c:\user\xyz\appdata\local\temp - in my case in place of xyz there’s “bąkl”.
As you can see below it replaces “ą” with “b\304\205” and it does not work.

Error is:

Hi,


yes I am afraid this is a problem with Ghostscript 9.16 which we only noticed after the release.
You can either revert to PDFCreator 2.1.1 (uses Ghostscript 9.14) or manually replace the ghostscript in the PDFCreator folder with GS 9.14 (32 bit version).

best regards,

Ok, then I’ll stick with 2.1.1 on other pc’s and on this one I’ve changed user profile path.

Thanks.

That of course is also a valid option, just didn’t want to recommend it:)

Well, I know. I’ve changed the profile path from “bąkl” to “bakl”, at least one program stopped working so I’ve created symlink bąkl -> bakl . Fortunately mklink /D exists.
Downgrade is a better solution, you’re right (:
