[jira] [Resolved] (PDFBOX-1158) Functionality in PDFBOX

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1158?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jeremias Maerki resolved PDFBOX-1158.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Please don't use JIRA to ask questions. Questions should be sent to users@pdfbox.apache.org.

1a. Apache PDFBox cannot directly create PostScript from PDF. But it supports painting PDF pages to Graphics2D objects. That means you can use the print function to print a PDF to a PostScript printer driver (set to output to a file if needed). Or you can use PSDocumentGraphics2D from Apache XML Graphics Commons to create PostScript files but the former is easier. http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PrintPDF.html can serve as a starting point.

1b. Apache PDFBox cannot create PDF from PostScript because it lacks a complete PostScript interpreter to start with. You may need to look at GhostScript for that functionality (available under the GPL or a commercial license). GhostScript can do PDF->PS, too.

2. See http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PDFMerger.html

Any follow-up questions to users@pdfbox.apache.org, please.
