My needs are a bit simpler: I simply want to call the GhostScript DLL – dynamically via a simple DLL interface without having to compile all of GhostScript into my wrapper DLL. Digging around for a few integration samples turned up all sorts of huge projects that put wrappers for all functionality ontop of GhostScript. The documentation is always messy and the examples always assume you want to compile the whole source tree, which in most cases is not at all what you want - I suspect most people just want to call into the existing functionality from their own applications. I have to say I’m always underwhelmed by the documentation of these open source kind of tools. However, the one I have been interested in is PostScript to PDF conversion which allows you to basically print from any printer to a PostScript File and convert that file into a PDF document. GhostView provides a ton of functionality in dealing with PostScript and PDF manipulation.

GhostScript is open source so it's (sort of) free - as with all open source free, doesn't mean really free - commercial use still requires payment.

I decided that West Wind Web Connection could use support for GhostScript today as part of its series of supported PDF drivers etc. Updated to work with GPL and AFPL versions for the reg lookup.
