Unix optical scanner => Plain Postscript: How?

Post by Stuart Cracra » Sat, 24 Sep 1994 08:15:27



I have a Unix optical scanner which converts to various
formats including EPS (encapsulated postscript), but
not Postscript.

How can I convert the EPS to PS via a third party tool?

What do other people do when they need to scan images, text,
etc. and get it into plain postscript?

Is it even possible?


Thanks.
Stuart

There's nothing to convert.  EPS is PostScript.

1. RTF -> Postscript or RTF -> PDF -> Postscript ?

There is a simple word processor designed around the MS RTF format; it
can undoubtedly read in RTF and generate printable PostScript.  If you
actually need the intermediate PDF, Ghostscript includes a script to
generate PDF from Postscript called ps2pdf.
