PDF2JPG Install Notes

When installing PDF2JPG on 64-bit versions of Windows, you will need to perform an additional step to ensure the program runs properly.

Root Cause

This issue is caused by a folder naming convention difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows OS. The "Program  Files" folder in 32-bit version becomes "Program Files (x86)."

Resolution

To resolve the issue, follow these steps...

1. Verify PDF2JPG is installed on the computer. If it is not, the program can be installed via the Application Catalog.
    
2. Navigate to C:\Windows and locate the PDF2JPG.cmd file.
    
3. Copy the file to the computer's desktop.
    
4. Right-click on the file on the desktop and select "edit"
    
5. Replace  the text with:
   set file=%1
   "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\GPLGS\gs8.71\bin\gswin32c.exe" -dNOPAUSE -q -r200 -dBATCH -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=%file:pdf=jpg% %file%
    
6. Save the file
    
7. Replace the PDF2JPG.cmd file in C:\Windows with the file you just modified.
    
8. Test PDF2JPG by right-clicking on a .PDF file and select the PDF2JPG context menu option. You should see a command prompt window open briefly, and a .JPG version of the file should appear in the same folder as the original .PDF file.
