Ghostscript On windows leads to Invalid option for -dPDFSETTINGS
If you encounter an "Invalid option for -dPDFSETTINGS" error when using Ghostscript on Windows, it typically means that the option specified for the -dPDFSETTINGS
parameter is not recognized or supported by the version of Ghostscript you are using.
The -dPDFSETTINGS
parameter is used to control the quality and size of the resulting PDF file. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
Check the Ghostscript version: Ensure that you are using a recent version of Ghostscript. Older versions may not support certain options or have different options available. You can download the latest version of Ghostscript from the official website (https://www.ghostscript.com/download/).
Check the correct syntax: Verify that you are using the correct syntax for specifying the
-dPDFSETTINGS
option. It should be followed by one of the predefined values like/screen
,/ebook
,/printer
, or/prepress
. For example:bash-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen
Use a different option or omit the option: If the specific option you are trying to use is not recognized or causing the error, you can try using a different option or omitting the
-dPDFSETTINGS
parameter altogether. The default settings may be suitable for your needs.Update your command or script: If you are using a command or script to invoke Ghostscript, ensure that the option is specified correctly in the command or script. Double-check the option and its value to make sure they are properly formatted.
If the issue persists after trying these steps, please provide the specific command or script you are using, along with the version of Ghostscript and the complete error message, so that we can assist you further.
