PS to PDF
Turn PostScript file files into PDF document files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.
How to do it
- Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
- Drop your PS files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
- Type ps to pdfand pick Convert to PDF. PDF from PostScript or EPS.
- The first time, Asteria tells you it needs Ghostscript, a free program from Artifex, and opens its official download page. Install it from there and Asteria finds it.
- Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The PDF files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.
What it needs
PS to PDF uses Ghostscript, a free program for PostScript and PDF to pictures. Asteria doesn't bundle it. It only comes as an installer, so Asteria points you to the official download page and uses it once it is installed. If Ghostscript is already on your computer, Asteria uses that copy.
How it was tested
A real PS file was converted on Linux, and the PDF that came out was opened and checked with poppler pdfinfo to make sure it is what it says it is.
