If you don’t need to import PDF files, you don’t need Ghostscript; you can skip this section.
ODDC Server requires Ghostscript for Windows (64 bit version) to import PDF files. Ghostscript is a separate third-party product, and its license is not included with ODDC Server.
Ghostscript can be downloaded from ghostscript.com. Licensing information and the applicable Ghostscript license terms are also available on that website.
To use Ghostscript with ODDC Server, specify the path to the Ghostscript installation folder in AppSettings. If no Ghostscript path is explicitly configured, ODDC Server will attempt to locate Ghostscript using the system PATH environment variable.
If the ODDC Server cannot find the gswin64c.exe executable in any of the previous searches, it writes a warning-level message to the log and the console, and continues running. In this case, the PDF import will fail.
Note: Ghostscript is not required for PDF export.
