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.
