    Try and you will see ... !
    Installed all the suggested ones, and still not working. I first installed 8.71 and went down from there. Do I have to remove each before I install another one?

      I think: Yes, You have to remove each before install another one!

      On my system I have used this following logical sequence for installation:
      1. Ghostscript
      2. IrfanView
      3. all plugins of IrfanView

      I have used also the default installation path for Ghostscript!
      And everything works very well!
      But I'm using the 32 bit version of Ghostscript on Windows XP SP3!
      I don't have any experiences in using of IrfanView on Win 7 64 bit!

      Maybe it's better to get some answers from other users, which using the same OS as you!

          Windows 7
          1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
          2. In Large or Small icon view, click Programs and Features.
            If you're using Category view, under "Programs", click Uninstall a program.
          3. Select the program you want to remove, and click Uninstall.
            Alternatively, right-click the program and select Uninstall.

            Didn't think gs would show up in the Program list. Should have checked that. Sorry.

              Any x64 users out there got this working?

              I can't get this to work. Anyone on x64 care to share what they did to be able to view PDFs in IV?

                Hi,

                I have also Windows 7 x64 and I can open PDF files with IrfanView v4.27.

                I have just installed IrfanView and all the plugins. Then I downloaded GhostScript v8.71 and installed it. Since IrfanView is an 32bit application it will also call the 32bit version of GhostScript.

                I did not have a 64bit version of GhostScript installed. So please uninstall any GhostScript version and IrfanView. Reboot your computer and check if there is something left:
                C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView => IrfanView folder
                C:\Program Files (x86)\gs => GhostScript 32 bit
                C:\Program Files\gs => GhostScript 64 bit
                If you find any of these folder delete it.

                Then install IrfanView, the plugins (you need at least the iv_formats plugins) and the 32bit version of GhostScript.
                Then you should be able to open PDF files using IrfanView.

                Regards, Nils.

                    I had the same problem on 64-bit Windows 7 until I installed the 32-bit version of GhostScript from the above link. However, I did not need to uninstall my 64-bit version of GhostScript (which some of my other programs require) or reinstall IrfanView (v4.32).
