ps2pdf with ghostscript on WinXP
|
|
|
| I downloaded and installed ghostscript 8.14 (at least I think I did) but
when I try to execute the command "ps2pdf june27.ps", I'm getting the
response below - can anyone interpret and help out? Or point me to some
basics on how to accomplish converting a postscript file to pdf? I used to
use the website but it hasn't been available lately, so I'm going about it
this way.
Thanks - Sue

In Linux the ps2pdf is itself an executable that calls ghostscript
interpreter. So the ps2pdf must be called directly from the OS command line
and NOT from the GS> prompt.
Thanks, Fotis.

Same situation on Windows, ps2pdf should be used in a console
window, not on the GS> prompt.
