Hi Waldwolf, while you're active on the forum, I was wondering if you knew of a converter utility that will convert a post script file - initial part extracted below - to something more useful (PDF or Word)?

I haven't started to look on the web yet, but just thought I'd ask

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but Acrobat Distiller happily grinds through ps and spits out PDF files.

RDN - I haven't done this in a long time, and I can't remember the name of the little utility I once used. Believe it was PS2PDF, or something like that. Not sure.

Anyways, the most popular (talked about) appears to be Ghostscript here. (Believe it's free to non-commercial users.)

If you only have a small number of files to convert, check this free online conversion service, PS2PDF here.

You'll also find a short tutoral here.

have fun

Thanks - I've just got Ghostscript and am trying to work out how to use it!

The PS2PDF site came up with an error "The file does not appear to be a PS file" - so I'll concentrate my "fun" on Ghostscript

If anyone wants a great alternative to Adobe then you should try the freeware FoxIt PDF Reader.

It's much, much faster for most users who just want to be able to read PDF files.

OK - just got it. It's certainly quicker than Adobe - quicker to load and quicker scroll up and down a document. I'll give it a good workout with a PDF about Thai characters that I've just got
