Use Ghostscript To Convert Pdf To Tiff

You can use C# to run the GhostScript command line or use Platform Invoke (pInvoke) calls to call the GhostScript dll directly. GhostScript is primarily file based, so the input is path to a file on disk and the output is the creation of files on disk. The parameters used to call either the dll or exe are basically the same, so there is not a huge benefit to calling the dll directly, but does make for nicer code. I have C# wrapper that can be used to call the ghostscript dll, if you email me (address on profile) I will sent it to you.

HTH UPDATE: code repo moved to. The gsdll32.dll file is not a managed.NET library. You can\'t reference it in your project. You have to include it in your project as \'content\' (menu: Add existing item) and let VS copy it to the output directory. Meanwhile you should read and on how to reference the Ghostscript functions. Keep in mind that Ghostscript is all unmanaged code and that you have to do the clean-up yourself after using the library.

Edit: What Robert said is important, too. Of course, you have to use the correct version of the Ghostscript library. Why do you try to add the library as reference to your project? Gsdll32.dll is a native dll, not a Dot-Net library. When I build the sample project using Visual C# Express 2010 I get an exe file. If I execute it it tries to access the gsdll32.dll. The problem is now that on a 64bit system a 64bit executable is generated but the gsdll32.dll is compiled for 32bit.

The correct solution would be to modify the source code and replace gsdll32.dll with gsdll64.dll everywhere it occurs. The simpler solution is to use the 64 bit version of Ghostscript, copy the gsdll64.dll into the same directory as the ConvertPDF.exe and rename it to gsdll32.dll.
