 * Is there a workaround to activate Ghostscript if exec() not available? Our site
   is hosted at Kinsta and they don’t allow exec() so while plugin has found GS 
   I am getting message: “_NOTE: `exec()` is not accessible. Ghostscript will not
   function._”

 * Hi [@charlesrowe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/charlesrowe/) –
 * Ghostscript can be invoked indirectly through ImageMagick. It’s less performant,
   but does not require `exec()`.
 * Note that ImageMagick can be built in *many* different ways, some of which will
   not support PDF operations.
