ps2pdf -dNOSAFER
should now work with gs-9.02 too.

I changed the Ghostscript Options field to  -dNOSAFER -dNOPLATFONTS -sFONTPATH="c:\psfonts"  in the Advanced Configure but when I try to open the ps file I get this error message (so even prior to any conversion to pdf by pdwrite):

the Postscript operation `(preforme.swf)  (r) file' seems to be executed when the page content is interpreted by Ghostscript and sent to GsView.

However, this operation is relevant only for producing PDF when pdfwrite is invoked and should be ignored otherwise, e.g. for viewing purposes, as in your case.

Normally, hyperref package should insert necessary commands into the PS file which prevents code appearing within pdfmarks from being executed if Ghostscript is not in PDF producing mode. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work properly here.

As I have no idea how to fix this immediately, I suggest not to use the intermediate PS file for viewing, but the final PDF and to use a different viewer (Adobe Reader or Evince or Xpdf).
