Re: SaveAs PDF not working

Hi Roland;

 

  This is completely incorrect .....  you must never use a 32 bit version of GS on a 64 bit version of the MS-Windows O/S!!!!!!  

 

1) Download and install GS 8.71 64 bit version.

2) Install GS 8.71 and make sure that you set the GS_DLL environment variable ...

   ie: GS_DLL=C:\Program Files\GS\gs8.71\bin

3) Install the "Sybase DataWindow PS" printer from the GS 8.71 64 bit .INF file located in the GS install's LIB sub-folder

4) Optional: Add the GS BIN folder to your system path

5) Reboot your PC.

 

Now, PDF support should be working in PB 10 and higher on your 64 bit MS-Windows machines.

 

Note: v8.71 of GS has some key fonts that are not included in later releases of GS and these fonts are also no longer included with newer MS-Windows versions either. So what ever you do ... never delete GS 8.71 from your machine.

 

You can now upgrade GS as follows:

 

a) Download and install the latest GS version 9.x or higher 64 bit version

  Do not uninstall GS 8.71

b) Install GS 9.x and make sure that you set the GS_DLL environment variable ...

   ie: GS_DLL=C:\Program Files\GS\gs9.01\bin  (for example)

c) Delete the old "Sybase DataWindow PS" printer definition

d) Install a new "Sybase DataWindow PS" printer from the GS 9.x 64 bit .INF file located in the GS install's LIB sub-folder.

e) Optional: replace the GS 8.71 BIN folder in your system path with the GS 9.x BIN location.

f) Reboot your PC.

 

FWIW: This procedure works for me and all my clients every time! Tested with PB 10.5 through all versions to PB 12.5.2

 

HTH
