AIX: Postscript to PDF 1

[AIXtexas]

Is there any available AIX software to convert postscript to PDF? We currently use GhostScript, however it fails on large documents (2000 pages plus).

Thanks,
Shane

Hi AIXtexas,

There is 2 other programs that you could try.

1_ pdftops from xpdf from "AIX toolbox for Linux"


2_ Install acroread from Adobe.
- I use this command to produce postscrit file:
- if you have graphic adapter

cat file.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -size letter > file.ps

cat file.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -size letter | lp -d[print queue] -c -n

- if you do not have a graphic adapter, you will want
to install Xvfb

cat file.pdf | acroread --display :1 -toPostScript -size letter > file.ps

cat file.pdf | acroread --display :1 -toPostScript -size letter | lp -d[print queue] -c -n

Note: I have only one problem with these pdf to ps
conversion and if anyone can solve it i will
appreciate:

I can not select the paper size on a HP 5000n
printer. I always get the first tray.

Have a nice day
