Graham,
You should check out:
http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/tags/ghostscript-9.02/doc/Devices.htm
There it documents how you can use Ghostscript to output
PNG,JPG,TIF,BMP and other formats. HTH.

Hi All
Don't use shell on windows if you don't administer the computer your using it
on. It is standard practice for system admins (particularly in an education
setting) to block the cmd prompt. That locks up your app!
So use the open process commands instead.

Hi Mark,
I understand your point about long emails. FWIW, I try and not offer advice
on emails which I can't take time to fully read and understand.
Actually, I use a number of already compiled commercial apps which also have
to install MS's C++ libraries along with the application. This seems to

Yes, I should have said, "I *ALSO* wonder if one can use Ghostscript by
itself to read a PDF? I did read your email. If I get some time later, I
might try and play around with this.

Good sleuthing Bernard! Most valuable. I suspect if this can be tested, it
would be super easy to "suck up" this exe into an app and then "spit it out" on
first run.

Try downloading a binary instead of compiling it yourself.
Schools should not behave like they're the European Central Bank but should

Whenever I need ImagaMagick, I include the command line tool with the

1) Find an application that does what you want to pdfs, but does not require
a full installation. Many applications can run as an executable file without
having to have notations made in the windows registry.
2) Store that application wit
