This is usually done with the aid of a virtual printer that can be implemented using, of course, Ghostscript. GPL Ghostscript is also known for its ability to convert PostScript files to PDF, as well as to turn PDF documents to raster images (JPEG, TIFF, PNG). Software such as IrfanView or Inkscape are currently using it for PDF viewing capabilities, not to mention the number of virtual printers that are counting on it for PDF creation and printing.
In fact, there are a number of popular applications that depend on Ghostscript in order to open or convert PostScript and PDF files. While developers are using it to create libraries and apps, the end user is enjoying the perks of GPL Ghostscript sometimes without even knowing it. The fact that it achieves so much at no cost quickly made it a worthy candidate for porting to other operating systems other than Windows, such as Unix, Linux, MAC, FreeDos, Amiga OS, MS-DOS and OpenVMS. GPL Ghostscript is a software package that bundles interpreters for PostScript languages and PDF files, as well as a collection of C procedures for implementing filtering and graphics.ĭue to its robust engine, GPL Ghostscript has many uses in computer software, in areas that include PDF viewing and conversion, raster computer printers and programming, the last of which serves to create scripts and applications related mostly to the PDF format.
