Ghostscript not Installed Warnings
Beginning with the 2019.2 release of ePublisher, the Ghostscript postscript processing tool will no longer be bundled with the ePublisher Express installer. Instead, the ePublisher Express installer attempts to detect if Ghostscript is already installed and if not, will attempt to automatically download and install it. If the installer is unable to install Ghostscript, then you can follow the steps below to manually install it on your system.
Ghostscript can be installed either before or after you install ePublisher. However, if you run conversions that require postscript processing, ePublisher will generate error messages in its generation log and the output may be missing image files.
To download and install Ghostscript
1. Access the Ghostscript download page at: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases.
2. Click on the link labeled gs<VERSION>w64.exe or gs<VERSION>w32.exe depending on if you are using the 64-bit or 32-bit version of ePublisher. For example: gs9550w64.exe for the 64-bit version of ePublisher.
3. Run the installer, it should have a filename similar to: gs9550w64.exe.
4. Check Generate cidfmap for Windows CJK TrueType fonts.
5. If ePublisher was running, make sure to restart it before continuing to use it.
