Cannot open some PDF files

Post by rolf1704 »

Hello,
When trying to read some pdf-files using ghostscript 9.10 (gs910w32.exe) I get "Format of the file <...> could not be determined" (the option Display all image files is on.) Using the old AFPL ghostscript 8.54 opening works fine. I am using Xnview 2.13.

It opens normally for me in XnView 2.13...

Do you have Ghostscript x32 installed if you are using Windows x64?

Xnview is x32 and requires the x32 version of Ghostscript to be installed even on Windows x64 systems.

Hello,
I have Windows 7, XnView 2.13 and GPL Ghostscript 9.10 all in 32bit-versions. I did some testing an found out, that everything works fine if I use the old AFPL Ghostscript 8.54. I do not know where the differences are, but for now I have a workaround.

Best regards
Rolf
