This are my personal notes, since I always forget how to use PMPDF to create some PDF with OS/2-eCS.

So this is my "2016 way to make it work".

1.- Using RPM/YUM or Arca Noae Package Manager install Ghostscript. I installed 9.18-5 version of it.

2.- First, install PMPDF. It works fine with the WarpIn installer.

3.- It will create a "PDF Printer" icon on "Local System - Printers".

4.- Right click the properties of the "PDF Printer".

5.- Check the "Output Port" tab. There is a new outport called "PDF", right click it and select "Properties".


6.- One "Ghostscript" tab it is important to point to gsos2.exe. But the PMPDF software will try to get it from "\bin\gsos2.exe". So if you are using RPM/YUM you only need to point it to "X:\usr".

7.- After that you can try opening Newview or any other application and print to the "PDF Printer".
