Incroyable HULK Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Hello,I was just wondering what is the difference between the 2 versions you can download for PDFCreator? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=228013PDFCreator-0_8_0_AFPLGhostscript.exeorPDFCreator-0_8_0_GNUGhostscript.exe
LaptoniC Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 AFAIK Pdf softwares includes cryprograpy code(RC4) so maybe one of them is supporting encryption.Just a wild guess
dman Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 mainly the license.http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/faq.htm#afpl_gnu
Incroyable HULK Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 Yes, the licence seems different but there is a few MB in difference between the 2 version... so there must be something else.I've seen somewhere a compatibility with another tool or script...
dman Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 I tried them both. the exe is the same, but the AFPL version installs a dir GS8.14 and the GNU has GS7.06. The AFPL has more fonts and libraries than the GNU version, thats why installer is bigger. Probably licensing issues with these components.
