Pdfs from r2001 proe

I know this has been covered before, but I'm really missing something I
d/l ghostscript and gsview, hoping I could get pdf printed out from
ProE 2001.

I got the files from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
8.51 on gs and gsview 4.7,I'm running under win xp
it just seem like they are not installing correctly, I get a error with
the setup and there is no folder shortcut etc. for gsv

Am I needed to get some additional files from the site ? run something
on the command line thru a batch file ? Something Ineed to do on the
ProE side of output to generic postscript?

I'ts not the end of the world or anything I just want to put some
pdf's up on a webpage instead of jpgs... to enable a zoom in for better
rez. Should I just forget the whole deal and opt for a pdf writer and
do with out the headaches.. or is it I'm just missing something

TIA

This guy has a thing called FreeDist which is a front end to GhostScipt. It does
things like merging different files into single PDF, other cool stuff. There's a
manual, help stuff, a website and he answers questions. But, really, GS
installation questions should be addressed to the people who are distributing the
software.

There is also something called PDF995 with streamlined, trouble free installation
that might be more to your liking.

 

Also, here is a good tutorial on using GhostScript/GhostView with ProE

Choose the link 2/3 down the page called Creating PDF drawing files for
FREE.

 

This is better.

It also works with GS, but it installs PDF printer, which is capable to
print from almost every application.

Thanks Dida128

It works great !! I did look at the tutorials at
http://www.kinetivision.com/qu­icktips/dirsub.asp?catid=12&su­bid=43
... that when I started wanting to be able to publish pdfs ... It
doesn't cover what all is involved in setting up gs etc.....just
changing extensions to ps and pdf from ghost view, which I could never
get to launch..must be missing a file that I need to config...something
But the pdf printer makes it so much easier and works with everything
else I have tryed so far, though it does turn thing upside down in
Acad, but there is a checkbox to flip....

Was figuring another ProE user had some input on GS
Thanks all

 

Not to diss any other products or anything, but recently I learned
about freeware offered by CutePDF. I tried it and it works fairly well,
at least on WF2.0. You can get it at www.CutePDF.com
