Ghostscript converts the PostScript (or PDF) file to a more basic PostScript format, translating complex functions to basic functions, such as line draw commands. The second part of the conversion process consists of translating these basic functions into basic functions of the output format. pstoedit is multi platform.
Open Prepress Interchange (OPI) – 'thin' PostScript and PDF files containing low resolution "For position only" (FPO) images may be submitted to the RIP, which will replace the image data with high-resolution files held locally. The equivalent Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format is also supported, as are reference XObjects in PDF files ...
PostScript (PS) is a page description language and dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.It is most commonly used in the electronic publishing and desktop publishing realm, but as a Turing complete programming language, it can be used for many other purposes as well.
Ghostscript is a suite of software based on an interpreter for Adobe Systems' PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages.Its main purposes are the rasterization or rendering of such page description language [4] files, for the display or printing of document pages, and the conversion between PostScript and PDF files.
PSfrag is a LaTeX package that allows one to overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) figures with arbitrary LaTeX constructions, properly aligned, scaled, and rotated. The user has to place a text tag into the EPS file and the corresponding LaTeX construction into the LaTeX file that will include the EPS file.
The YAP for PostScript previewing is used to dynamically edit and re-render PostScript as if one was editing a file, unlike the actual PostScript interpreter itself (such as ghostscript), which deals with PostScript input interactively from a user. YAP first was bundled with the NeXT demos package of NeXTSTEP, which was also bundled with OPENSTEP.
A related Adobe product, Acrobat Distiller Server was released in 2000 and provided the ability to perform high-volume conversion of PostScript to PDF formats through a centralized client-server architecture. [5] In 2013, Distiller Server was discontinued in favor of the PDF Generator component of Adobe LiveCycle. [6]
A PostScript file that conforms to DSC is called a conforming document. The need for a structuring convention arises since PostScript is a Turing-complete programming language. There is thus no guaranteed method — short of actually printing the document — to do things like determining how many pages long a given document is or how large a ...
