SeriousTube Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I would like to confirm that the latest Ghostscript version 9.27 does not work for opening pdfs with this plugin. 9.26 works. It took me quite some time to find the solution posted here. Thanks for the wonderful plugin. Edited August 28, 2019 by SeriousTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 As above. Uninstall ghostscript 9.27 and install 9.26. If that doesn't work, post back here.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Installation instructions from the first post in this thread: Quote Copy the two files OptionBasedLibrary vX.X.dll/.dlc to the Paint.NET\FileTypes\ folder.

yeebutton Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Same problem, use paint net save pdf file is ok. Use paint net to open pdf file can not.

HyReZ Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) @yeebutton You have placed the OptionBasedLibrary files into the wrong folder. It should be placed into paint.net folder not the FileType folder. It works for me! BTW: Make sure that Ghostscript 9.27 is removed from the gs folder and that Ghostscript 9.26 is placed there.

That's where the plugin author said to put them. Read the first post. @yeebutton have you set the environment variable?

jbionic Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Serious security flaws were identified in Ghostscript version 9.26 back some time ago https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-10846/product_id-36469/version_id-275939/Artifex-Ghostscript-9.26.html Can we expect the plugin files to be updated accordingly in order to support the newer Ghostscript versions?

No, that's not expected. Martin has been offline for some time now. 1 hour ago, jbionic said: Serious security flaws were identified in Ghostscript version 9.26 back some time ago Yes, but luckily you won't be affected by any of those, if you just use Ghostscript via this plugin. If you're using the older version for other things, be careful! Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

I have read the post as well as the readme file that is in the imPDF compressed folder. I am also stating what is working for me! I have no trouble using the PDF read/write plugin for Paint.NET and I have the OptionBasedLibrary files in the paint.net folder and the other files of this plugin in the FileTypes folder. My question, as is yeebutton, why is my set up is working form me and no setup seems to be working for them. BTW I also have version 7 of the OptionBasedLibrary files in the paint,net folder.@Ego Eram ReputoI put Paint.NET on another computer and copy and pasted the OptionBasedLibrary files from my DropBox to the FileTypes folder as per documentation and works there too as indicated. @yeebutton Maybe the the ImPDF.Open.FileType.dll is damaged and needs to be removed and replaced?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Thanks @Djisves. Those are the versions linked in the first post. I've refreshed the link text to correctly reflect the version number & release date.
