Weird, it looks like my message about the PDF plugin was deleted!!
Here's where you can get Ghostscript (get the 32b version):
http://www.ghostscript.com/download/Here's a link to the plug-in:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ucyhsr7e15hgd8/plug_gs.zip?dl=0 Instructions in brief:
[*] Install 32 bit Ghostscript on your system.
[*] Download and unzip the plug-in (plug_gs.tpp) and place it in your plugins folder. For ThumbsPlus 7 that should be simply its program folder and for TP9 I think that's a subfolder named plugins.
[*] Launch ThumbsPlus
[*] Tell ThumbsPlus where to find Ghostscript:
in TP7: Options | File Plugins | Ghostscript PS/EPS/PDF | Ghostscript installation location
in TP9: Options | Ghostscript PS/EPS/PDF | Ghostscript installation location
This location should point to the Ghostscript DLL. On my own system, it is "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.64\bin\gsdll32.dll".
[*] Update the filetype definition for PDF files (and any other filetypes that you want to be loaded through Ghostscript such as PS, EPS and/or AI) by setting the 'Load Using' value to 'Cerious Plug-in', and in the field to the right of that choose 'plug_gs.tpp'. The filetype definitions are under Options | Preferences | Filetypes. Or you can just right-click on a file of the desired type and choose 'Configure type' from its context menu.[/list]
I hope this helps!
