- Close EMu
- Uninstall whichever current version of Ghostscript you are running.
- Search for Ghostscript in your Windows search bar at the bottom left of your screen, select "uninstall."
Ghostscript uninstall 01.PNG - The Control Panel will open, select Ghostscript, select Uninstall.
Ghostscript uninstall 02.PNG - Follow screen prompts to complete the deinstallation.
- Search for Ghostscript in your Windows search bar at the bottom left of your screen, select "uninstall."
- Install Ghostscript 9.26
- Open this link: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs926/gs926aw32.exe
- Save executable file to computer
- Run executable file (Note: only users with "Admin" status can install applications on Herbarium computers)
Restart EMu
You may need to restart your instance of EMu in order for the update to take effect.
In the event that restarting EMu does not work, restart your computer.
If after restarting your computer you still cannot open a PDF in EMu, please contact an Information Manager.
