We are getting  error while saving Powerbuilder Datawindow
into PDF using ghostscript in WIndows 7 OS . Same is working
fine in Windows Xp and windows 2000 .

Does Windows 7 support  the same . If yes Pls give some
solution

It would help if you told us what version of PowerBuilder you are using.

And what kind of error message?

Since Win7 has not been officially released [October 22], PB has not been 
officially tested with it - Sybase has always waited for the donut to stop 
rolling. My *guess* is that Win7 support will be in MRa to 11.5 and 11.2, 
and certainly to 12 when it comes out next year.

As a wild guess, Win7 may not play well with the version of GhostScript you 
have or maybe the PS printer driver. IIRC there is an XP compatibility 
mode - did you try that?

The usual suspects - have you got GhostScript installed and did the Sybase 
PS printer driver get installed properly?
I would suggest searching the newsgroups, as several people have reported 
better results with other PS printer drivers. But I have not seen any posts 
about Win7, especially with an EOL version of PB that wasn't even supported 
for Vista.

Using Win 7 RTM 64 bit save as PDF seems OK using PB 11.5.1.4011

We use HP CLJ 4500 PS driver.

We have several of our QA and Support people using the RTM version 
internally (both 32 and 64 bit) since Aug 6  with no reported problems.  We 
have several customers running the Win 7 RC version. So far nothing but 
praises for Win 7

Could you post a link for that driver in case someone else wants to try it?

That's good to hear - Vista created problems for some people, especially 
with older PB versions. My expectation based on history is that Sybase will 
test current releases (11.2 and 11.5) on Win7 and put out MR if needed. And 
of course PB12 (where most of the developer effort is being applied right 
now) will have to be compatible.
The official release of Win7 is still October 22, but I would not be 
surprised if Sybase already has the RTM edition.

I just used the driver supplied with either Vista or Windows 7.  Both work 
just fine.

Windows 7 RTM was made available to public (small) developers on Aug 6.  MS 
Partners like Sybase received the code much earlier.  The Beta and RC 
versions are not very different from RTM.  Also, there have been and 
continue to be Windows Update entries for Win 7/Server 2008 R2.   Drivers 
have not been an issue for our in-house support/development 
desktops/laptops.  We have a few users starting using the RC when that 
became available, mostly without even telling us.  We log application usage 
and notice the AD changes.

I have not had any issues using PB 11.5.1.xxxx with Win7 32 or 64.
PB 12 beta is another story
