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 Adobes 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.
