Support notes to help you choose the right download version of PDFCreator:
- Q: What is the difference between the AFPL and the Ghostscript version of PDFCreator?
- A: The main difference is the Ghostscript version used. The AFPL version is newer than the GPL version, but the license is more restrictive. If you just want to use PDFCreator, then both versions are fine and the AFPL should be preferred, as it is far better. If you need an aspect of the license that is not covered by the AFPL but by the GPL, then you should download the GPL version.
- Q: What file should I download?
- A: PDFCreator requires Ghostscript. There are 2 different Setups for the two versions of Ghostscript
- PDFCreator-0_9_1_AFPLGhostscript.msi
- PDFCreator-0_9_1_AFPLGhostscript.exe
- PDFCreator-0_9_1_GPLGhostscript.exe
- PDFCreator-0_9_1_Source.zip
- PDFCreator-0_9_1_WithoutGhostscript.exe
