FX-Viewer and macOS Tahoe
If you are updating your Mac to macOS Tahoe, you will need to re-install FX-Viewer by downloading the installer again from SMART Centre.
macOS Tahoe introduces changes to system-level permissions and security protocols that affect how the FX-Viewer licence is activated and verified. There is no change to the FX-Viewer software itself — the re-installation simply updates the licence wrapper so that it is compatible with macOS Tahoe.

FX-Viewer showing an empty room environment

If after installing FX-Viewer and Ghostscript you are getting an empty room after dragging a Color-Logic PDF into FX-Viewer:
1. First of all make sure your PDF has a Color-Logic separation – if the PDF does not contain the "CL 4713 SILVER" spot color it will not be able to do the rendering.
2. If your PDF does contain the Color-Logic spot color, it could be a problem related to the version of Ghostscript that is installed. We would recommend using v9.55 from our Ghostscript download page – Just download, run the installer to update to the latest version. An empty room environment is usually related to the version of Ghostscript and the Mac OS.
