Ghostscript.NativeAssets

Optional NuGet package that ships Ghostscript and GhostPDL native libraries for use with Ghostscript.NET.

Included assets

This package tracks Ghostscript 10.08.0. NuGet represents the package version as 10.8.0-rc.2 because numeric version components cannot contain leading zeroes.

RID	Included files	Status
`linux-x64`	`libgs.so`, `libgpdl.so`	Included
`win-x64`	`gsdll64.dll`, `gpdldll64.dll`	Included
`win-x86`	`gsdll32.dll`, `gpdldll32.dll`	Included

gsdll / libgs handle PDF, PostScript, and EPS. gpdldll / libgpdl is GhostPDL and is used for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Call GhostscriptOffice.Unlock(key) for a full Office document; without a key, conversion is limited to the first 3 pages.

The ghostscript.version metadata file next to each native library allows GhostscriptVersionInfo to report the bundled Ghostscript product version.

Usage

<PackageReference Include="Ghostscript.NET" Version="1.3.6-rc.4" />
<PackageReference Include="Ghostscript.NativeAssets" Version="10.8.0-rc.2" />

Package versions are managed in the repository Versions.props file. Ghostscript.NET resolves libraries in this order:

Explicit path / GhostscriptVersionInfo supplied by the caller
Bundled NativeAssets (app-local)
System Ghostscript installation

var version = GhostscriptVersionInfo.GetPreferredVersion();
// or
if (GhostscriptVersionInfo.TryGetBundledVersion(out var bundled))
{
    // use bundled
}

GhostscriptOffice.Unlock(customerKey);
GhostscriptOffice.ConvertToPdf(@"D:\report.docx", @"D:\report.pdf");

Licensing

This package distributes Ghostscript and GhostPDL native binaries. Use is subject to the GNU AGPL v3 or a commercial license from Artifex. Full Office conversion requires a Ghostscript.NET.Office license key.
