This version either does not support converting PDFs via command line, or it was not compiled with that ability. GSView 1.4 comes with GhostScript 3.53, and an installer for both: I have found another alternative that works, for those who don't mind using Adobe software. This command also worked from 386 enhanced mode in Windows 3.1. You can test by running "ps2pdf tiger.ps tiger.pdf". You should now have a directory C:\GS with a lot of files, and a directory C:\GS\fonts with all the font files.Ĭopy gs386.exe to gs.exe, so you now have two copies of the file. Now put the files from gs403fn1.zip an gs403fn2.zip in a subdirectory "fonts" of your "GS" directory from the last step. The files should be in the root of your directory with no subdirectories. ("C:\GS" might be appropriate, as it seems to be the default path for GhostScript.). To install, take the contents of gs403dos.zip, gs403ini.zip and gs403win.zip and unzip them so that their files are all in the same directory. You can also add the additional fonts, found here: (I believe this is because it was meant to be installed on different OSes, and some of the zips could be swapped out per OS).

To install is a little tricky as it comes in separate zips.

After this change, it should be able to convert PS to PDF out of the box, at least the provided sample files. Note that this tool runs in DOS mode, and does not require Windows. I was successfully able to convert the golfer.ps and tiger.ps samples from the GS directory. This can be copied to gs.exe to avoid editing the batch files. Renaming gswin16.exe to "gs.exe" results in an error: "Interpreter revision (261) does not match gs_init.ps revision" So, I am trying Ghostscript 4.03 as an alternative, and I have managed to get it working.įor anyone trying to use Ghostscript 4.03 for Postscript to PDF conversion, I found that the included batch files refer to a file gs.exe (or gs.bat) which does not exist. However if Adobe Acrobat Professional 2.0 is ever archived that might also be an option, as it includes an alternate Adobe Distiller which is presumably 16 bit. This (at least the version I am using) does not have the slow 486 CPU option which I believe is needed for many Win32s applications to work under Windows 3.1 (including the available version of Adobe Distiller, and GSView 2.1 which I believe can convert PS to PDF in a GUI interface). I have a need to use Ghostscript 4.03, as the current platform I'm working on uses an older version of DOSBox (0.72). I'm going to download it and see if there are instructions to use ps2pdf in Windows 3.1 (and which PS printer to use). That information about Ghostscript 4.03 is very interesing. I don't know if it is possible to use that ppd file in Windows 3.1.
#Windows ps to pdf how to#
I know how to use ppd files in Linux and Mac, and I've seen that there is a PS printer driver in Windows 2000 an later that can use any ppd file. The information about ghostpdf.ppd is the same I was talking about. Looking at my post, I didn't say that I was planning to use the ps2pdf included in GS, not a standalone build.
#Windows ps to pdf windows 10#
I was thinking about using latest version of Ghostscript on a Windows 10 machine to do the conversion. Might I recommend a virtual printer shared via Samba? I guess there was an Acrobat PDF Writer or Acrobat Distiller for Windows 3.1, but I'd like not to use illegal apps) (BTW, I've been looking for PDF printers for Windows 3.1, but I haven't found none. I've found some documentation pointing that there is a ppd description file that matches the PDF conversor, but I don't know how to use a ppd file in Windows 3.1.

I remember that there was a printer driver recommended to do this job, but I've been unable to find what driver was it. My plan is to print a PS to FILE, and then using ps2pdf to convert it. I'm using DOSBox 0.74 and Windows 3.1 (not for Workgroups), but the question is not related to DOSBox. I'm running some experiments using Windows 3.1, and I'd like to produce PDF files using that.
