Conversion From Post Scrit Format to PDF Format

[apondu]

Hi,

I am working on a project for my academics. I wanted to know about the
details about how to convert the post script files to PDF format. I am
using C#.Net as my platform for the project. As i said i am a student
and cannot afford for the third party tools which does the conversion.
It would be very helpful if u could provide some code snippets for
this.

Thank You

Are you seriously considering writing a PostScript interpreter similar to
Distiller, one to make PDFs as well? How many years have you got for each
project? ;-)

Or do you simply need a way to make PDFs from PostScript? In that case, google
GhostScript ... it's very capable and it's freely available.

Hi,

i am seriously looking forward for the interpreter. I wanted to know
whether there is any component that is compitable with .Net and make my
task easier. I cann't afford to buy any third party tools because i am
doing it for my academic project.

Look into GhostScript. You'll have to work out whether it's .Net compatible or
not, but it's a solid performer.

The licensing might be complex for commercial applications but for an academic
project, I think you'd be able to use it at no charge. Read the licensing
carefully though.

Thanks Steve for responsing.

I tried it out its not compatible with .Net. Can u suggest me any other
tools. Do u know any library in java which does this type of conversion
and is compatible with .Net. I asked u this because there are many
libraries in java which are compatible with .Net

Thank You

You can make Ghostscript compatible to a certain extent, if only by shelling
out to the executable with the appropriate command-line parameters.

What do you want to achieve beyond the conversion of a Postscript file to a
PDF?

I'm afraid I can't be of any help there.
Try searching at www.planetpdf.com though.
