Spread the love

Ghostscript has arrived at version 8.00, the general description is as follows:

Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language. A PostScript interpreter usually takes as input a set of graphics commands. The output is usually a page bitmap which is then sent to an output device such as a printer or display. PostScript is embedded in many printers.

Ghostscript has several main uses:

  • Display a PostScript file (avoid killing trees).
  • Display a PostScript file to decide if you really need to print it (reduce the number of trees killed).
  • Print a PostScript file to a non-PostScript printer (kill more trees).
