Bleah.
I downloaded the latest RC1 version and tried... From the README it seems to
indicate that the installer contains a version of Ghostscript with the
PDFCreator-0_8_1_AFPLGhostscript.msi installer. Install went fine, no errors. Then
tried to print from Firefox. The new PDFCreator printer icon was there. Selected and
clicked print... then no joy... Missing gsdll32.dll. Maybe it didn't actually
install Ghostscript. So I went and hunted down version 8.51 of Ghostscript. Found it
here:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/get851.htm
Installed it. Same error. Rebooted. Same error, but this time I got the PDFCreator
window to popup. On the preferences it complains that I need AFPL Ghostscript
greater than 8.14. Hmm... I'm running 8.51...
Bleah again. No time to troubleshoot now unfortunately.
Anyhoo, here's the Linux solution that I used:
