I am trying to convert a PDF to a jpeg and keep getting error message that I need to download Ghostscript. Ghostscript is downloaded into WINAR. I have tried to extract it but no matter where I put it, I open Irfanview and try to open the PDF file and I get the error message again, can't find ghostscript. PLEASE HELP my question is, where do I extract the ghostscript file in my computer for Irfanview to recognize it?????

The Ghostscript link on the Irfanview plugins page does seem to be incorrect. I downloaded mine from the Ghostscript website here and it worked fine. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are there.
I installed the program (32 bit Windows version) to the default directory in Program files. After opening a PDF file the following new section appeared automatically in the i_view32.ini configuration file.
[Ghostscript]
GS_Location=0
GS_DLL=C:\Program Files\GS\Bin\gsdll32.dll
xDPI=96
yDPI=96
Paper=a4
Antialiasing=1
Footnote: I do not know if the 64 bit version works with Irfanview. I doubt that you get any extra performance from using it anyway.Last edited by Mij; 09.11.2011, 03:04 PM.

My opinion:
IrfanView is a 32bit application.
That's why you must use also a 32bit version of Ghostscript!
(Take GPL Ghostscript → "gsxxxw32.exe"!)
