Pdfs from r2001 proe

guy has a thing called FreeDist which is a front end to GhostScipt. It does things like merging different files into single PDF, other cool stuff. There's a manual, help stuff, a website and he answers questions. But, really, GS installation questions should be addressed to the people who are distributing the software.

There is also something called PDF995 with streamlined, trouble free installation that might be more to your liking.

Also, here is a good tutorial on using GhostScript/GhostView with ProE

Choose the link 2/3 down the page called Creating PDF drawing files for FREE.

It does

This is better.

It also works with GS, but it installs PDF printer, which is capable to print from almost every application.

Thanks Dida128

It works great !! I did look at the tutorials at

that when I started wanting to be able to publish pdfs ... It doesn't cover what all is involved in setting up gs etc.....just changing extensions to ps and pdf from ghost view, which I could never get to launch..must be missing a file that I need to config...something But the pdf printer makes it so much easier and works with everything else I have tryed so far, though it does turn thing upside down in Acad, but there is a checkbox to flip....:-)

Was figuring another ProE user had some input on GS Thanks all

The Ghostscript and GSview programs install fine on WinXP. No special configs or options. The only thing to watch for is that Ghostscript is installed FIRST. then GSView. Perhaps this is where you went wrong, as GSView looks for the Ghostscript install to auto-configure itself.

Quote from GSView Readme:

(( First install the AFPL Ghostscript self extracting archive gs850w32.exe (or a later version if available) Then install the GSview self extracting archive gsv47w32.exe. Run GSview.

))

Not to diss any other products or anything, but recently I learned about freeware offered by CutePDF. I tried it and it works fairly well, at least on WF2.0. You can get it at
