Create PostScript from PDF

[makaveliuk]

Is it possible to automatically print a PDF file to PostScript either by COM/ActiveX or command line or something?

I need to have large PDF files converted to postscript over night so need to automate it somehow

Anyone got any ideas?

GhostScript has a PDF2PS utility.

I have tried the PDF2PS util with ghostscript but it seems to fail everytime, the only reliable method I have found is Acrobat, I have found the command line to print to postscript but it does not quit acrobat when it's finished so I can't queue the files and process them in sequence.

Set up a dummy PS printer, set the "port" to "file"

(Assuming Windoze, of course)

How to automate is another story, but you can certainly print from Acrobat to a PS printer "to file" or to a port set as "file".
Why PS?

I already have it printing to file using the command line, the only problem is that the /t switch which should terminate Acrobat after printing does not seem to work.
