Product: LABELVIEW, CODESOFT
Version: All Versions
LABELVIEW and CODESOFT do not natively support displaying PDF files as images within a label. This limitation exists because Windows operating systems do not recognize PDF files as image formats.
To use a PDF file as an image in LABELVIEW or CODESOFT, you must install the 32-bit version of Ghostscript. Ghostscript enables the software to interpret PDF files as image objects.
Download Ghostscript from: https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/index.html
