Reading post script files

Does Adobe offer a program that reads post script files?

Adobe Acrobat can convert Postscript to PDF and display the PDF.

How to Print Post Script Files

Hi All,
I am trying to make a utility software in foxpro that could print post script file on:-
1) Post script printer
2) Non Post Script printer
Operating System Windows 95 & above
Help is requested from all the community members

PostScript printer - send it to the printer port e.g. LPT1: with a simple copy.
Non-PostScript printer - you'll need to buy a PostScript RIP, or perhaps use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PostScript to PDF, then print the PDF with Acrobat's API - see the Acrobat SDK. (This is not possible with the free Reader).

Converting Back to Original PDF Using Post Script File

Is there any way to convert back to an original PDF using a post srcipt file that was created from that original PDF? Allow me to fully explain my situation:
I converted multiple pdf's that I created into a post script file. I then utilized Adobe Distiller to convert them into a pdf that could be used for better printing and better usability by the end user. Unfortunately, when Distiller did this conversion, it replaced my original pdf with the new one. By the time I realized what was happening, all files had been replaced.
I still have the post script file that was created from the original PDF file; is there any way possible using this post script file that it can be somehow converted back to the original PDF file? There are some edits that I need to do on the original PDF. The pdf that Distiller creates doesn't allow for anymore edits. My goal is to be able to make my edits without having to re-create 37 pages of documents.
The software versions I'm using are as follows: Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, Adobe Distiller Version 10.1.438.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Hello, thank you for responding.
Yes the url links start with http:
For example when I type in
http://canberracontemporaryartspace.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/staying-out-of-trouble/
in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "not found"
And then when I type in

in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "page not found"

Unable to create post script file in framemaker.

I installed TCS 4.0 licensed suite. Due to some reason I need to delete Adobe PDF from Devices and Printers. Since then I am unable to create post script file using framemaker. I have tried uninstalling and installing TCS 4.0 again, but all in vain. What should I do now?

If you delete critical parts of Acrobat there will be problems. Try doing a REPAIR of Acrobat Pro (from the Programs Control Panel), maybe it can undo the damage.

Saving PDF files as Post Script files using Adobe Professional

I have a 2 Page PDf document that mainly has Text on each page. Both the Pages have a 2D Data Matrix Barcode also.
I opened the PDF file in Adobe Professional and saved the file as Post Script file.
Post Script file gets saved successfully. When I open the Post script file - It has almost 40,000 line for a 2 page post scipt file.
It has lot of Hex data that looks so huge in the file. ( I thought only Images get converted to Hex format).
Is there a setting or something I am missing that I have this huge Post script file for a 2 page text file PDF

Your barcode may be a high resolution graphic. A lot of junk (hex) is what you would see in such a case with PS. How it looks to you may depend on what application you are using to view the PS file. If you open it in a code or text editor you might get a better idea of what is there. I don't look at PS files much and agree with graffiti's question of why do you want to?

SapScript output spool to a POST script file

We generate billing invoice output using custom
program/Sap script. Subsequently we release the invoice print out from
the print spool to create a post script file from the print spool by configuring command set "G" in
transaction u201CSPADu201D. This processis is working fine in R/3
However, when we migrated the same functionality to ECC, we are finding
that the file created containing only garbage data.
Anyone has encountered this issue and have suggestions to resolve this.
Thanks

@Jack – you were using a joboptions file by Distiller to convert a PostScript file to a PDF/X-1a.
What you get is no error message, just a report, that everything went ok. And in this case I cannot see any advantage using PDF Export for printing to PostScript/distilling to PDF. Ok, maybe one, CS5 and above would export in a background process.
To prevent InDesign flattening transparency, you could use PDF/X-4 as your export setting. You cannot use writing to PostScript for that task.
Check including tags for tagged export to prevent misalignment of text because of a strange bug with PDF Export when you are using 9pt text on 12pt leading or text with a ratio of 9/12 for point size and leading in multicolumn text frames.

jTextArea1.setText(e1.getMessage());I am using this code so that the user will be prompted with a message rather than stack trace.
About the issue I am getting on linux i believe its because of following statement.

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

Not able to read sql script file in ADF mobile

hi,
i am trying to create some DB tables in SQLLite DB (similar to the HR sample app where it creates bunch of DB objects using hr.sql file in .adf/META-INF)..
but i am getting following error at runtime. i placed the file in .adf/META-INF directory in my application.
"sqllite returned: error code=14, msg = cannot open file at source...."
what am i missing here?
please help.
regards,
ad

This how I have done it.
This is the start method from my Listener:
public void start()
      String databaseName = "mydatabase";
      File dbFile = new File(AdfmfJavaUtilities.getDirectoryPathRoot(AdfmfJavaUtilities.ApplicationDirectory)+"/"+databaseName+".db");
      if(!dbFile.exists())
            try {
                this.initializeDatabase(databaseName);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}And this is a custom method also in the listener class
private static void initializeDatabase(String databaseName) throws Exception
      List stmts = null;
      try {
          ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
          InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream(".adf/META-INF/"+databaseName+".sql");
          if (is == null) {
              // .sql script not found
          BufferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
          stmts = new ArrayList();
          String strstmt = "";
          String ln = bReader.readLine();
          while (ln != null) {
              if (ln.startsWith("REM") || ln.startsWith("COMMIT")) {
                  ln = bReader.readLine();
                  continue;
              strstmt = strstmt + ln;
              if (strstmt.endsWith(";")) {
                  System.out.println(strstmt);
                  stmts.add(strstmt);
                  strstmt = "";
                  ln = bReader.readLine();
                  continue;
              ln = bReader.readLine();
          String Dir = AdfmfJavaUtilities.getDirectoryPathRoot(AdfmfJavaUtilities.ApplicationDirectory);
          String connStr = "jdbc:sqlite:" + Dir + "/"+databaseName+".db";
          Connection conn = null;
          conn = new SQLite.JDBCDataSource(connStr).getConnection();
          conn.setAutoCommit(false);
          for (int i = 0; i < stmts.size(); i++)
              Statement pStmt = conn.createStatement();
              pStmt.executeUpdate((String)stmts.get(i));
          conn.commit();
          conn.close();
      } catch (Exception ex)
          ex.printStackTrace();
      }My .sql scrip named "mydatabase.sql" located in the ADF META-INF folder.

Is Obfuscation in Post Script files Possible ?

Hi. Is there any method or tool by which PS files can be obfusciated. Please Guide
Regards

Go here for the files: ftp://ftp.cs.brown.edu/pub/postscript/obfuscated/
My favourite was ftp://ftp.cs.brown.edu/pub/postscript/obfuscated/Tiny_RayTracing.ps which used to run for about 12 hours on older computers.

Page Switching in Post Script file

I need to print the first page of my bills on a specified pre printed bill form and the next Page i.e two or three on plain sheet.
I have follwoing command line for Page switching.
For First Page
<</Duplex false/PageSize [595 842] /Tumble false /ManualFeed false /MediaPosition 0>> setpagedevice
For Second Page
<</Duplex false/PageSize [595 842] /Tumble false /ManualFeed false /MediaPosition 1>> setpagedevice
Where Should I insert these lines in my PS File
Please see my PS file here
Dropbox - 1.PS
The first five page are single page bill that are to be printed in Bill form. the next bill is a two page bill so first page will be printed on bill form and the next on lain sheet.
Kinldy Guide where should I place those lines

If you do not need to alter the output order (e.g. to reverse), the following will be sufficient:
%%Page: 1 1
%%BeginPageSetup
<</Duplex false/PageSize [595 842] /Tumble false /ManualFeed false /MediaPosition 0>> setpagedevice
%%PageOrientation: Portrait
pdfStartPage
0 0 595 842 re W
%%EndPageSetup
%%Page: 2 2
%%BeginPageSetup
<</Duplex false/PageSize [595 842] /Tumble false /ManualFeed false /MediaPosition 1>> setpagedevice
%%PageOrientation: Portrait
pdfStartPage
0 0 595 842 re W
%%EndPageSetup
The italic lines are copied from your sample file, the bold line is what you should insert. For the 3rd and following
pages you need not do anything as long as you don't change the output order.

Unable to convert post script file

keep getting the above message, still unable to print...help!

Hi welshgold,
You'll need to provide some additional information:
    - Adobe product and version number
    - Operating system and version number
    - The full text of any error message(s)
    - What you were doing when the problem occurred
    - Screenshots of the problem
    - Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.
You can though try to remove your printer and re-install or you can try to reset your printer subsystem (this will remove every printer from your computer system).
