Unable to load library 'gsdll32'

Question

I am running following code to create bmp image from pdf using Ghost4j

i have a commad which is executed by GhostScript generator to generate Bmp image of a page from pdf. Code is:

package ghost;

import net.sf.ghost4j.Ghostscript;
import net.sf.ghost4j.GhostscriptException;

public class GhostDemo {
public static void main(String[] a){
    Ghostscript gs = Ghostscript.getInstance(); //create gs instance
    String[] gsArgs = new String[10];/*command string array*/
    gsArgs[0] = "-dUseCropBox";/*use crop box*/
    gsArgs[1] = "-dNOPAUSE";
    gsArgs[2] = "-dBATCH";
    gsArgs[3] = "-dSAFER";
    gsArgs[3] = "-r300";
    gsArgs[4] = "-sDEVICE=bmp16m";
    gsArgs[6] = "-dTextAlphaBits=4";
    gsArgs[5] = "-sOutputFile=C:/PagesWorkspace/1/masterData/1.bmp";/*bmp file location with name*/
    gsArgs[6] = "C:/MasterWorkspace/pipeline.pdf";/*pdf location with name*/

    try {

        gs.initialize(gsArgs);  /*initialise ghost interpreter*/
        gs.exit();

    } catch (GhostscriptException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

i am getting Exception

Can any one tell me why i am getting this exception?

Answer 1

Do you have Ghostscript installed at all?

• If yes, which version?
• If yes, in which location?
• Does it include a file gsdll32.dll?

If not, download the Ghostscript installer for Win32 and run it. After the installation, there should be a file gsdll32.dll in directory %your_install_dir%\gs\gs9.05\bin\

Answer 2

Pasting dll file in eclipse project made my program work!
