Hi.
I followed one of the guides here, and finally managed to create a valid PDF in PB12.5 using Ghostscript and dw_data.saveas()! Yay!
However, I have some questions.
First of, I installed GS8.71 and restarted my computer.
Then I installed GS9.18, restarted the computer holding down SHIFT to install the printer with an unsigned driver (Windows 10).
Then I created a PDF using dw_data.saveas(), and it says in the properties that it's created using Ghostscript 8.71.
I uninstalled both GS8.71 and GS9.18, removed the "gs" folder in C:\Program Files\ and restarted.
I reinstalled only gs9.18 and now the properties in the PDF says "Ghostscript 9.18". Which makes me think that GS8.71 is not necessary anymore?
So my questions is:
Do I really need to install GS8.71 first? It looks like GS9.18 is working great on it's own?
And how can we distribute GS to all our customers without having to install it on every client computer?
Can the "Sybase Datawindow PS" printer perhaps be a network printer which all client computers can access instead of a local printer?
And finally: will it be possible to save a datawindow as PDF (native, without installing GS) in future versions of PowerBuilder?
Perhaps Armeen Mazda in Appeon would like to comment this?
Regards,
Bjarne
