Converts PostScript and EPS files into scalable vector formats
as well as bitmap images and formatted ASCII text. Countless
applications, devices and databases generate vector-based
output. Getting these graphics across platforms and into your
documentation and publishing environments is often very difficult,
if not impossible. Let alone doing so while retaining their
vector quality and intelligence. Especially high-end applications
(scientific, engineering) can often only output directly to
the printer, or export to proprietary formats.
Many companies then resort to inflexible and troublesome
bitmap formats, time-consuming screen capture or even to
redrawing the graphics from scratch.
The key to bridging this gap while maintaining vector quality
is Adobe's PostScript printer file language. The worldwide
standard for over two decades, it is the most ubiquitous
vector-based file format in the world today. Most Unix applications
output PostScript or EPS by default, and any Windows application
can generate it simply by printing 'to file' to a PostScript
printer driver.
ps2vector takes this rich and robust file format and converts
it to any of the industry-standard formats listed above.
As native vector graphics, you gain tremendous advantages
when importing them into your publishing system.
