Dear Steven,

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately the laptop I had installed
Whyteboard on crashed and I have not purchased a new laptop yet so I won't
be able to test this further. I probably won't be installing the program
on my new laptop since I was only using it for a one-time project, but if I
have this requirement again I will be sure to test the command you posted!

Sincerely,

Mark Fox

Hi,

This is the convert command used:

"[ImageMagick path to convert.exe]" -density 200 "[file to convert]"
-resample 88 -unsharp 0x.5 -trim +repage -bordercolor white -border 20
"[output path]"

there are quotes around filenames to deal with paths containing spaces.

Let me know how this goes; sorry for getting back to you quite late on
this.

Title:
Ghostscript Not Found

Status in Whyteboard: Simple whiteboard and PDF annotator:
New

Bug description:
This program looks good, but I have been unable to use it because it
is unable to find Ghostscript. I installed GS 9.01 and IM 6.6.7.7 Q16
on this Win XP Home SP3 laptop and after adding C:\Program
Files\Ghostscript-9.01\lib and C:\Program Files\Ghostscript-9.01 to
the DOS path in Win XP's System Environment Variables I was able to
run

convert logo: logo.pdf

on the command line and open the pdf file. But when I attempt to open
or import a PDF in Whyteboard it says

Failed to convert file. Ensure Ghostscript is installed.

What could the problem be? If you post the IM command that Whyteboard
runs I could attempt to run it from a command line.

I am available at <email address hidden> and will submit this through the
program's Send Feedback form so you get the laptop specs (Asus EeePC
netbook, 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1 GB RAM).
