Re: GhostView or what?



In the meantime, you can actually use ImageMagick, if you wish, to do the conversion from postscript to PDF. ImageMagick is a command-line tool, but it's free, so it solves the cost problem for you.

To convert a file from ps to pdf:
convert file.ps file.pdf

easy, no? Probably the hard part is getting it downloaded and installed. It's just download, configure, make install, if that makes any sense. If not, send me an email and I can help you get it working.

Desiring the same functionality, I stumbled upon PostView.app. At $22, it is not a bad deal. It even allows you to copy selected text from PS, EPS and PDF files and paste them elsewhere. Check it out at <http://www.metaobject.com/Products.html>

Cheers,

Thanks for the tip. But for a guy in Brazil, $22 is a lot of money, even if funded by the brazilian government. It still have the opinion that Apple could improve the functionality of "Preview.app"
