ps2text
|
|
Many applications and databases produce PostScript output
that combines text with lines and objects. Often, people need
to obtain just the text to be further processed in a downstream
application. The Graphics Connection offers ps2text, which
intelligently parses the PostScript and extracts all the font
text, creating clean, formatted ASCII files.
Shareware tools for converting PostScript to ASCII do not
look at the position of text strings in the PostScript file;
instead they just write them to the ASCII file as they find
them in the PostScript code. The resulting text documents
often lose their logical make-up. ps2text, on the other
hand, stores the x,y-coordinates of every text string first
and places it precisely in the converted ASCII text file
ensuring that the converted documents match their original
text layout.
The ability to save any file as PostScript makes this a
universal solution to convert forms (e.g. invoices, records)
and database reports into pure, formatted ASCII text documents. |
