PDF Compatibility X-Tension

The built-in Oracle viewer component used by X-Ways Forensics does not print some PDF documents properly. There seems to be an issue with the font information. Some prints can have missing text or square boxes instead of letters.

This viewer extension uses the Ghostscript library to internally preprocess the PDF files in a way that prevents this bug from happening.

Installation

  • Download the 32-bit or 64-bit Release.
  • Move the gsdll32.dll or gsdll64.dll to your X-Ways Forensics directory.
    Important: gsdll32.dll and xwforensics.exe (or gsdll64.dll and xwforensics64.exe) must be in the same directory.
  • Load the X-Tension in X-Ways Forensics (Options -> Viewer Programs -> Load viewer X-Tensions).
  • Turn the X-Tension on by pressing the XT Mode Button while previewing a PDF file.

Building from source

  • Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt (e.g. VS 2015 x86 Native Tools or VS 2015 x64 Native Tools).
  • Run nmake win32 or nmake win64 in the project directory.
