Ghostcript: unable to create PDF files

[davefr54]

I am running under PowerBuilder 12.0, Windows XP with Ghostcript 9.0 with the following code:

if DirectoryExists(ls_chemin_stk) = false then
   CreateDirectory(ls_chemin_stk)
end if
ls_chemin_stk += "\" + ls_fichier + ".pdf"
adw_impr.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = Distill!
adw_impr.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Distill.CustomPostScript = "No"
ll_fileno = adw_impr.SaveAs(ls_chemin_stk, PDF!, true)
if ll_fileno < 1 then
   messagebox("Warning", "Attempt to save PDF file failed")
   RETURN -1
end if

I can run it successfully with Ghostscript installed on my own machine whether in development mode or from the executable, but the users running the executable and Ghostscript installed on Citrix Metaframe remote server are unable to save the datawindow in PDF format. Any ideas?

Do the users have rights (in Citrix) to create directories and files within the directory?

Yes, permissions was the first thing I checked. I am trying to get 2 colleagues together to test further - we think installing Ghostscript on each individual user's machine may resolve it.

wouldn't you have to install ghostscript on your citrix server?
