Where does
PostScript
Come From?
PostScript can be found in all corners of an organization and it can be
produced from virtually all applications in UNIX, Linux,
Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.
- Technical and scientific applications often write
output directly to PostScript.
- Most applications can save files directly as
PostScript (.ps/.prn) or EPS (.eps)
- On Windows, you can generate PostScript files from any
application by printing ‘to file’ using a PostScript printer
driver (there's no need to actually have the printer - you
just need the driver).

PostScript® is a widely used industry-standard printer language developed by Adobe. For over two decades, industries ranging from engineering to publishing have used it to output, store and print pages.
It is the only standard output option available for many technical applications, plotting tools and lab instruments
which store files in proprietary file formats. PostScript files can handle long, composite documents as well as raster images and complex vector graphics.
Visual Integrity supports PostScript and encapsulated
PostScript (see EPS) as input options for the FLY
product family. Choose the one that suits your requirements:
PDF FLY - In addition to PDF, PostScript and EPS
are standard input options for PDF FLY. With this powerful
desktop tool, you can convert multiple files or directories
into your choice of 13 standard vector and bitmap formats.
PDF FLY is a consolidation of products previously known as
ps2vector, pdf2vector, ps2bitmap,
pdf2bitmap, ps2text and pdf2text. FLY Batch - Automate your
PostScript or EPS conversions using the simple
command-line interface. Use the fine-tuning controls to
obtain a high degree of control over the final output into
the vector or bitmap formats you select.
FLY SDK - Use the API or
Windows DLL with your PostScript or EPS input to integrate support for viewing, importing and
exporting vector and bitmap formats into your applications. |

Support Notes:
- Full support for Level 1, 2 and 3 PostScript input for conversion to ASCII text and vector output formats.
- Files may contain vector graphics, raster images and text
with fonts (PostScript, Type 1 or TrueType fonts).

Philips Semiconductors uses EDA software to design and produce chips.
The EDA software only outputs PostScript which can not be
directly imported into any of their publishing systems. In
order to use the EDA drawings in Word and FrameMaker, they
use PDF FLY to convert the illustrations into WMF and MIF.
The resulting files can be edited while maintaining optimal display and print quality.

Abbott Laboratories relies on software and instruments in its labs that can only generate data plots by printing. To
move them in a digital format, they print 'to file' using a PostScript printer driver. Since 1996, they have used PDF FLY to
convert the resulting PostScript files into WMF, the format
required by their NuGenesis scientific data management system
where files can be viewed and plots can be searched based on text strings.

Amdocs, a leader in integrated customer management
technolgy and services, uses Oracle to store customer data.
Data from different repositories is combined into a formatted
report. This valuable business intelligence is output to
PostScript. PDF FLY is used to extract the ASCII data while
preserving the placement and structure of text strings so
that it can be moved into Microsoft Excel for further
processing.
