Andhika24kd Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Does anyone know what registry value that the plugin use to detect the Ghostscript? I'm using a unofficial PortableApps.com package of Paint.NET, and I don't want to install Ghostscript on the system. However, I already have the portable version of Ghostscript. I tried to add registry value manually in HKCU\Software\GPL Ghostscript\9.22 and HKCU\Software\Wow6432Node\GPL Ghostscript\9.22, but still no success, it shows that i don't have 64 bit version of Ghostscript installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are using the wrong registry hive. The plugin is checking in LocalMachine, not CurrentUser. Specific keys it looks at are 'GS_DLL' and 'GS_LIB'. That's all the help you're going to get with this. If you can't figure it out, you'll just have to install Ghostscipt. 12 minutes ago, Andhika24kd said: I'm using a unofficial PortableApps.com package of Paint.NET Where did you find that package?

Andhika24kd Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thanks for the quick reply, will surely to try it later... Yeah, I already know about the GS_DLL and GS_LIB, my mistake is that I'm using HKCU intead of HKLM 16 minutes ago, toe_head2001 said: Where did you find that package? I got it from ThumbApps.org, the latest version is 4.0.20, but you can update it to 4.0.21 by replacing the app files manually. I suggest not to continue talking about it, as it misleading the topic of this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuckeroo Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'm not sure what has happened. This plugin used to work for me. I haven't used it in a while, and when I tried to save a picture as a pdf, I no longer have the option. I have: paint.net 4.0.21, OptionBasedLibrary v0.6.dlc and OptionBasedLibrary v0.6.dll in program files/paint.net folder ImPDF.Open.FileType.dlc and ImPDF.Open.FileType.dll in program files/paint.net/filetypes folder installed gs9.22 Sorry I know that's rather vague. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 What about the following files: ImPDF.Save.FileType.dlc and ImPDF.Save.FileType.dll If they are not installed on your system, you can download them in the first post in this thread.

punktuation Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks for the plugin, Martin. It definitely makes a difference in using paint.net! I'm still wondering if there's a way around the fact that paint.net imports pixels and not editable text. A lurked through discussions but found nothing... maybe I was using the wrong keywords. NB: I'm quite a noob to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not. Paint.NET is a pixel editor, not a word processor.

AndrewDavid Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Hi @punktuation Did you know that if you copy your text to the clipboard - Then use the text tool in paint - You can paste? CTrl-V will do it. Before you press enter you have one chance to edit it at this point. Once you press "enter" or "finish" the text is turned into a graphic.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Enter key does not work with the text tool to commit to the canvas.

utb Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I would very much like to use this plugin. I've never tried it before. When I try to open a pdf file I get the error message: There was an error while opening file. I have tried both the recommended combination paint.net 4.0.5 with Ghostscript 9.11 and the newest paint.net 4.1.1 with the newest Ghostscript 9.25 Clicking Show Details gives the error messages: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at OptionBasedFileTypes.OpenFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 477 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 and System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at OptionBasedFileTypes.OpenFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 496 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocea Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Recently updated Paint.net to v4.13. I installed the PDF plugin v1.4 and received an error when trying to save a .PSD and TIF file as a PDF. -Save Configuration ImPDF FileType Plugin v1.4 ImPDF Command Executable: n/a I checked the root paint.net folder and found the ImPDF.Command.exe file. I deleted and reinstalled from the v1.4 zip, restarted and tried again. I checked to make sure it was unlocked. Same error. I am assuming it is not finding the .exe file because it is looking for it in the C: drive and my Win7/paint.net folder is on my F: drive, but not sure. Anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adalberto Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 First of all I would like to say that this plugin made my workflow much faster. I am trying to export an image as a pdf but the 24bit color depth it is just too much for me. I am looking for something that make the pdf files smaller, 4 bits for me would do it. Is there any possibility to do that with this plugin? Thanks a lot in advance, Adalberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Dieckmeyer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I installed the Portable Document Format' FileType Plugin (.PDF) But when i try to import a pdf to edit it i'm getting this error.

Sounds like it might be an issue with the PDF file. Are you able to share the PDF file with us, so we can investigate? Several people have reported the same issue, but none of them have supplied a PDF file. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

XenoCow Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I too am having the "input string was not in a correct format" error. Here is an example of a file that is not working, however, I cannot find a PDF that does not trigger this error.

toe_head2001 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 @XenoCow, can you try installing a slightly older version of GhostScript? https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs926/gs926aw64.exe or if you need 32 bit: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs926/gs926aw32.exe 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Marty Dieckmeyer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Installing an older GhostScript seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissov Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 This plugin is very helpful indeed, but I wish it could, in addition to rendering PDF pages as bitmaps, also extract bitmap images from PDF files, like pdfimages from XPDF can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doriima Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hm. I'm sure I had this working on a previous laptop, but just can't make it go currently. I've installed the "slightly older" version of ghostscript as suggested, but still showing the same error whenever I try to open any PDF file: Application version: paint.net 4.2.1 System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at OptionBasedFileTypes.OpenFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 482 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 Any suggestions? - Doriima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Did you uninstall GhostScript v9.27 before installing the older v9.26? They copy into the same gs folder and I think that the newer version is still trying to load the PDF into Paint.NET.
