Ghostscript erstellt PostScript- sowie PDF-Dateien und bereitet diese für Bildschirmansicht und Druck auf. Auch eine Konvertierung von PostScript-Dateien in PDF-Dokumente und gängige Bildformate ist mit dem Tool möglich. Die etwas umständliche Bedienung per Kommandozeile lässt sich mit grafischen Bedienoberlächen wie GSView oder GhostView umgehen. Ghostscript harmoniert prima mit FreePDF XP zum kostenlosen Erstellen von PDF-Dokumenten.

Changelog

 Highlights in this release include:

    The change to version 9.50 (rather than the intended 9.28) follows recognition of the extent and importance of the file access control redesign/reimplementation outlined below.

    The file access control capability (enable with -dSAFER) has been completely rewritten, with a ground-up rethink of the design. For more details, see: SAFER.

    It is important to note that -dSAFER now only enables the file access controls, and no longer applies restrictions to standard Postscript functionality (specifically, restrictions on setpagedevice. If your application relies on these Postscript restrictions, see OLDSAFER, and please get in touch, as we do plan to remove those Postscript restrictions unless we have reason not to.

    IMPORTANT: File access controls are now enabled by default. In order to run Ghostscript without these controls, see NOSAFER

    Important Note for Windows Users: See below under Incompatible Changes

    IMPORTANT: We are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).

    The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.

    Special thanks to Akira Kakuto, Paul Wessel, William Bader, Nelson H. F. Beebe and everyone else who put time and effort into testing this new release.

For a list of open issues, or to report problems, please visit bugs.ghostscript.com.
Incompatible changes

    There are a couple of subtle incompatibilities between the old and new SAFER implementations. Firstly, as mentioned above, SAFER now leaves standard Postcript functionality unchanged (except for the file access limitations). Secondly, the interaction with save/restore operations, see SAFER.

    Important Note for Windows Users:
    The file/path pattern matching is case sensitive, even on Windows. This is a change in behaviour compared to the old code which, on Windows, was case insensitive. This is in recognition of changes in Windows behaviour, in that it now supports (although does not enforce) case sensitivity.

    The following is not strictly speaking new to 9.50, as not much has changed since 9.27 in this area, but for those who don't upgrade with every release:

    The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have removed only non-standard and undocumented operators. Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators may stop working, or may change behaviour.

    If you encounter such a case, please contact us (either the #ghostscript IRC channel, or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work with you to either find an alternative solution or return the previous functionality, if there is genuinely no other option.

    One case we know this has occurred is GSView 5 (and earlier). GSView 5 support for PDF files relied upon internal use only features which are no longer available. GSView 5 will still work as previously for Postscript files. For PDF files, users are encouraged to look at MuPDF.

Der PDF24 Creator ist ein Programm zum Erstellen von PDF Dateien aus (fast) jeder Anwendung heraus.

Mit dem PDF Creator verwandeln Sie ganz einfach gängige Dokumentformate in PDF Dateien. Der PDF Creator agiert als PDF Drucker, um PDF Dokumente aus jedem beliebigen Dokument zu erstellen. Diese PDF Software ist vollkommen kostenfrei.

Changelog

Big update of language files

We updated every language file of the PDF24 Creator, which took some time because we had to do all the translation tasks of the freelancers. Now we are happy, that this task is done.

Fixed an error when displaying the file list in the Creator

In Creator, restrictions on the number of files in the list on the right side of the app have been fixed. We have seen that more than about 150 files caused problems with the container's scroll area and incorrectly placed file elements. We solved these problems, so now many more files can be added and processed.

Fixed wrong menu names in Creator

There was a wrong menu associated with the save file icon of the creator and this was a bit confusing. The function was correct, but not the name. This is fixed now.

Fixed incorrect file name when adding images to the Creator

The name of the image was lost during the conversion process and this was a bug. We have fixed this and now the Creator receives the file name again and displays the file correctly.
File list sorting method fix in the Creator


There was a minor bug with the sorting algorithm of files in the list of the file explorer in the Creator. This is also fixed now.

Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" fügt einzelne PDFs zusammen und umgekehrt. Sie haben mehrere Präsentationen als PDF vorliegen und müssen daraus eine einzelne erstellen - jedes PDF in die Ursprungsdatei zurückzuverwandeln, anschließend zusammenzufügen und danach erneut zu konvertieren gestaltet sich als mühselig und zeitintensiv.

Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" kürzt den Prozess ab, indem es bereits existierende PDFs über nur wenige Mausklicks trennt oder zusammenfügt.
