Hi,

PDFCreator 0.9.6 (GPL 8.63) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
Title, Author and Application are true.


PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.70) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
Title, Author, Application and Subject are false?


PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.70) + Adobe Reader 9.3.4
Title, Author and Application are true so it is not PDFCreator 1.0.2!


An idea
Thx

PDF-XChange Viewer 2.055
Viewer no longer modifes the Producer field in a document's information fields. Instead it uses a custom information field to store data regarding the version used to save a document.

I installed PDF-XChange Viewer 2.054 and I have the same problem.

I installed PDFCreator 0.9.6 and I have the same problem now. I disappointed

Hello reglis,

The change in the latest build is in regards of the "creator" field not being changed from e.g. PDFCreator to PDF XChange - we will now write the name of our application in a custom field e.g. "Modified By" instead of overwriting the creator information.

The "problem" with the latest version of PDF Creator is that the correct metadata instead of unicode characters is an ASCII string of the unicode representation. The correctly formatted information Adobe is displaying is stored in another filed - which according to their own specification should not be used if there is data in the "incorrectly formatted" one we are displaying.

The problem originates with PDF Creator and GPL rather than with us, as we are following the specification here, and are displaying for you the information that we are supposed to.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I think have understood

I tested...
PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.63) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.64) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.70) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
Title, Author, Subject and Application are false.


PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 8.71) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
Title, Author, Subject and Application are true.


PDFCreator 1.0.2 (GPL 9.00) + PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
Title, Author and Application are true but Subject is false...


It is not PDF-XChange Viewer (sorry) or PDFCreator but GPL Ghostscript

Hi,

Bullzip PDF Printer, PDFill PDF Writer, PDFCreator, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer use GPL Ghostscript

• GPL Ghostscript 8.70 and older : Title, Author, Subject and Application are false.
• GPL Ghostscript 8.71 : "the new version had problem with making text searcheable" (pdfforge.org)
• GPL Ghostscript 9.00 : Subject are false.

It is not PDF-XChange Viewer (sorry), I am going to contact Artifex Software but I think that if a society (your) contacts them they will answer

HI reglis,

please do let us know the results of your investigations into this.

Hi,

I tested Bullzip PDF Printer, PDFill PDF Writer and PDFCreator but all software which uses Ghostscript as PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc. seems affected.

PDF-XChange Viewer 2.056
GPL Ghostscript 8.70 and older : Title, Author, Subject and Application are false

GPL Ghostscript 8.71 : Title, Author, Subject and Application are true

GPL Ghostscript 9.00 : Subject are false


Advice :
Firstly, Install Ghostscript and you will be able easily upgrade or downgrade version.
Secondly, Install one (several) PDF Printer/Writer and it will discern Ghostscript automatically (not Bullzip PDF Printer with version 9.xx).

If I have an answer of Artifex Software or if a new version of Ghostscript is distributed I would inform you.

[Paul - PDF-XChange]

thanks reglis - looking forward to hearing what they say...

Hi,

I am not an Artifex customer with a current support contract.
I am French and I do not understand how contact you with this link http://www.ghostscript.com/mailman/listinfo/bug-gs
There is problem/bug with PDF-XChange Viewer (Adobe alternative) and Ghostscript 8.70 and older and Ghostscript 9.00.
You can have more information here https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 428#p41428

Best regards.

Bonjour Regis,

Anyone can submit problems at http://bugs.ghostscript.com. Please put the relevant
info into a 'New' bug there and we'll have a look. Please make sure and give the
Ghostscript invocation used (command line) and attach any relevant sample file.

I tried to look at the 'tracker-software' site below, but it wanted me to register
before showing me anything (which I didn't want to do).

Also at bugs.ghostscript.com you can search to see if the problem is already
reported, or search CLOSED bugs for a fix if it works in the latest release (that
is probably not the case for your current problem since I see you mention
9.00)

Best Regards,
Ray Johnston

Hello reglis,

I see that there is some development on your bug report, but it does seem like they will need the resulting PDF as well.
As it's not our fault shall we consider this as solved on our side?

Best,
Stefan
