Saving a document as a postscript file

How can I save a document as a postscript file in Leopard? In Tiger, one could create a virtual postscript printer. These instructions do not seem to apply to Leopard.
Thanks.

I would say it depends upon the application. In TextEdit or Preview (or any Apple application) you just go to Print, click on the PDF button, and choose "Save as Postscript..."
In what application are you trying to save to a Postscript?

  • Want help in converting XML Document to a postscript file

    I want to convert XML Document to a postscript file in Java, not from command line. Any help is appreciated.

    well, you first need an XML parser, which is easy to implement
    then you need to either write the postscript out bit by bit or use a Java API that writes PostScript for you.
    It's really simple, the trick is HOW you decide to write out the PS

  • Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

    I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions.  Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet?  For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper.  I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet.  Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
    Thank you  in advance
    David

    Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
    PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
    Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
    DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
    Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

  • Automate the process of saving Framemaker documents (*.fm) as Xml Files

    Hi,
    I am new to framemaker. We have a list of Framemaker document files (*.fm files) coming  into a folder.  We need to pick up these files and convert to xml format (same as the saveAs opertion from the File menu).
    I have written the follwing function to Save fm files to xml
    Code to Save fm files to xml files
    function saveAsXml (doc) {
       // Get required parameters for the save function.
        var params = GetSaveDefaultParams();
        var returnParamsp = new PropVals();
        // Replace the .fm extension with .mif.
        var saveName = doc.Name.replace (/\.[^\.\\]+$/,".xml");
        var i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType);
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtXml;
        // Save the document as XML.
        doc.Save(saveName, params, returnParamsp);
    How to automate this process so that code checks -
    1) New fm files in the folder
    2) Saves the fm file as xml
    3) Moves the saved fm file to a different folder
    Thanks,

    Have a look at the sample script below. The "while" loop waits for the specified number of milliseconds, then reads the contents of a directory and processes every individual file in the directory. In my example, it just prints the file path to the console. You would replace this part with your Open / Save as / Move sequence.
    For more file system commands, refer to Adobe's Javascript Tools Guide, "File object functions".
    var stop = false;
    while( stop==false ) {
        // Wait for 20.000 ms
        $.sleep(20000);
        var fld = new Folder("c:/incoming");
        var filesInFld = fld.getFiles("*.fm");
        for(var f=0; f < filesInFld.length; f++) {
            // process the individual file
            $.writeln(filesInFld[f]);
        // Exit the  loop after 19:00
        var time = new Date();
        if( time.getHours() > 19 ) stop = true;

  • Programmatically creating postscript files for office documents

    Hi All
    I am in the process of experimenting with vb.net to open up a word document in the background and create a postscript file, which i would then use to create a pdf. This currently is a windows service and seems to run ok when the same code runs through a windows form application.
    The problem i am having is with the "When creating a postscript file you have to sent the host fonts" error message, which seems to be fairly common judging by numerous articles on various forums. However, none of the solutions seem to solve my problem.
    I have set the "Do Not Send Fonts To Adobe PDF" option to OFF on printer defaults, on the current printer setup and even on the printer settings for that application (go to print, properties etc from within Word).
    However, whenever i run the code i get the error message. I then made the instance of word visible and checked the application settings for the adobe pdf printer.... the "Do Not Send Fonts To Adobe PDF" is now ticked. But when i close this down, and open word as a normal user would and check the setting it is off! Why would this be?
    Can i programmatically change this setting when word opens and before i run the post script file creation code? Where is this value for the setting stored? I do not understand why this is resetting in the instance of word through code? Is it something to do with setting the active printer and at this point using the default setting?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Nic

    You say you are doing this as Windows service – does this mean you are running this on a server of some sort?  If so, that is NOT ALLOWED.

  • Problem saving pages documents as postscript files and pdf files

    Hello!
    My problem occurs when the pages documents are saved as pdfs -they go 'screwy'. If you save as a pdf (through file, print, print as), the certain fonts show a holding maarker rather than spaces on the screen but prints fine. If you save as a postscript (file, print, print as) and convert to a pdf in Preview the fonts are fine on the screen but are blown out when it prints and are all over the page.
    If anyone has any suggestions I am more than happy to try anything.

  • Dialog box size when saving a postscript file CS5 is huge.

    When i save a postscript file, the dialog box that allows me no navigate to the place I wish to save my file is huge. About 10 inches wide and 3 inches high.
    I have tried to resize this box, expecting that the last used dimensions would be remembered the next time I entered this box but I get the same huge overly wide and not deep enough box.
    I hate resizing this box so I can see my sidebar. This never happened in CS3. CS3 honored the box as I sized it every time I saved.
    What is wrong with CS5?
    Where do I change this behavior.

    Replacing preferences did not help. System updates did not resolve this behavior.
    The other behavior I hate is when I open a document the application window enlarges to the maximum area on my monitor. The application window occupies the left edge to the dock on the right, just below the menu bar at top to the very bottom edge of the monitor.
    Most other applications remember what the last window size of a document was when I saved and closed it.
    What I end up doing EVERY TIME I OPEN A FILE is shortening the window on the right and bottom so I do not have my tool windows covering my document. I like Static tools, not auto hide.
    As long as I am griping I'd like to know how to turn off the auto resize of the document view when I enlarge or reduce my window. I want the document to remain a constant size UNTIL I DECIDE to resize it.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • Network files not showing when saving a document in Word 2010

    I have some users setup where their local profile on their laptop syncs with our server so they can take the laptop home, work on files, bring it back to work and have it sync with files and folders when they get back.
    One user is able to open a document in her "My Documents" folder (which syncs with the network drive).  She's able to edit the document however when she goes to save the document to the same folder, she doesn't see all of the files that are
    supposed to be in there.  If she just saves the file anyway and goes to her documents folder via Windows Explorer, she can see the file she saved as well as the other files.  
    I'm not sure why it's happening but it seems to only happen when she saves a file in Word.
    The affected user is running Windows 7 64-Bit with Word 2010.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    What are the other files' types in that location?
    Suppose the user is trying to save a .docx file in that folder, she should only be seeing the same type of files as the type she's saving.
    You can have the user try to change the "Save as type" and check if she's able to see other files.

    I've tried using other name to save my file, saving the file as a backup, saving it within my documents, and on a USB, but the file won't save. I'm using Keynote '09, Version 5.1.1 (1034) on my Mac Desktop running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

  • When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts

    I got this error:
    "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
    This strikes me as bad practice. I only want to use system fonts and document fonts will muck me up.
    That being said, I could not easily find a way to fix this with Acrobat Pro XI. I opened Control Panel (Windows 8) and found the printer and mucked around in the various ways to get to change the PDF settings (there are several ways, and some of them present the choices as bold and not just regular). I found two separate switches for "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and turned both off, BUT that did not work.
    Frustrated, I went back to FrameMaker and clicked File > Print Setup and then for the PDF printer, Printer Properties. There I found a THIRD instance of "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" that was set differently than the other two. This was the setting the error message meant. Change this one.
    Thanks for the convoluted UI, Adobe. What a pain, but there is the answer for all who follow after....

    > Windows 7 and Frame 7.2.
    This is not a supported configuration and probably does not work, due (I'm guessing) to driver API changes from XP to Win7, which would affect generating PDF and Ps output. This would affect Save-as-PDF and Print-to-Ps+Distill (unless you have a newer version of the full Acrobat product).
    As it happens, I'm going to attempt something similar: FM 7.0 on Win7 64 Pro. However, I'm going to install that old FM in "XP Mode".
    XP Mode is a 32-bit virtual machine running actual Windows XP inside Win7. It is (now maybe "was") available for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (but not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). When XP went off support life earlier this month, Mr.Bill may have taken down the ability  to download XP Mode (or not, since some large enterprises are able to  purchase continued support for XP at some great cost). XP Mode never was supported for Win8. There are other VMs for Windows available.
    If XP Mode is still available, you also need a CPU that has hardware virtualization, which all recent 64-bit AMD processors do, but which is fused-off in many low end 64-bit Intel processors. AMD processors need a separate unobvious hot-fix patch installed before you do anything else about XP Mode.

  • Saving PDFs as PostScript files-need shortcut

    My workflow requires me to save PDFs as PostScript files. Can I set up Preferences or create a keyboard shortcut in Acrobat that will let me bypass the "Save As" dialog box?
