PDF and Ghostscript

Post by nicolleen »

I have not found a solution in your forum. I've been using XnView for decades. I've got the newest version of MP and when I want to view a pdf file, I get told, I need ghostscript 64.

First I tried updating the portable ghostscript from PortableApps.com, but it isn't seen by XnView.

Then I installed the installed version of ghostscript 64 on the laptop (new, Lenovo, Win11) and restarted the whole laptop, but to no avail. I still get the popup instead of the file viewing.

What am I missing? Thanks...
