How to Convert PDF to PS

If you regularly deal with PDF printouts, PS, short for Postscript, is a term you most likely see on a regular basis. Postscript is a programming language that has become synonymous with printers over the past few decades. Developed in 1985 by Adobe engineers, Postscript describes the layout and format of printed pages, including the color and black-and-white aspects of the page. This basically lets printers print both images and text on the same page.

For those with business-grade Postscript printers or enthusiasts who want to try out their PS printers, converting PDF files to PS formats can be accomplished using one of several converters available on the internet. Now let’s discuss how you can convert PDF to PS files.

Part 1How to Use PDF to PS Converter

PStill is one of the most popular options offering conversion to and from Postscript formats. PStill is used to convert and transcode PS, TIFF, EPS, MBP, JPEG, and GIF files to PDF. It can also be used to generate print-ready PS files that can be sent directly to the Postscript printer. Among its other functions, PStill can be used to repair and normalize PDF files that have problems printing. The application helps to normalize fonts by converting them to PS formats, which enables PDF files to have better compatibility.

PStill can also be used as a virtual printer on a network to help convert multiple files over the local network. On Windows platforms, you can install it and use it as the default virtual printer for converting PDF to and from PS files. You can also import files directly for conversion on the Windows version of the program, which enables you to convert a batch of PDF files to PS format.
