Installing Ghostscript for CutePDF

Avatar
Matt Taylor

I am trying to automate the installation of CutePDF onto our machines.I already have an issue with PDQ Deploy and the CutePDF install package (PDQ hangs and wont confirm that the product 'failed' or 'succeeded'....even though it DOES install)

 

But that's not why i'm here, I'm here because CutePDF requires an additional step - Installing a PS2PDF such as Ghostscript - without this installation CutePDF wont work. I found a way online to convert GS's exe into a .msi file which allowed easier deployment. But the problem now is that when i run the deployement, i get an 'install successful' notice but the program doesn't seem to be on the remote machines....at least, CutePDF isn't working like it should.

 

When i try to right click and "Print" something using the CutePDF method, i see a notifcatoin that a printer job is coming and going within a second..but no dialog box pops up asking me to save the PDF to a location.

 

Any one have this or a similar problem?
