Another information :

When I copy the GS directory (and subdirectories) from
C:\Program Files to my application folder (from where my
program is launched), a PDF file is generated but the file
is empty.

When I remove this GS directory the PDF file is not
generated

Hello,

When generate a PDF file using Ghostscript using the
following script :

a_dw.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = Distill!")
a_dw.Modify("DataWindow.Printer = 'Excalibur PDF GS'")

a_dw.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Distill.CustomPostScript='1'")

[jms]

I found a solution :

- uninstall GhostScript 8.64 (latest current release)
- install GhostScript 8.60 (the main difference i see with 8.64 is that this
release create a subfolder named "fonts" in "c:\progam files\gs")
- copy the "gs" folder ncluding all subfolders in my application folder

=> it works
