> Hi,
> There's no postscript to pdf file converter in the 
> open source which is built using Java or .Net. Only 
> one thing that is present is GhostScript which is 
> developed using C++. Can it be possible to use PDFBox 
> to build such a project which converts the PostScript 
> files to PDF format.
> Thank You

> Hi Govardhana,
> As I mentioned in my earlier comment, this is certainly 
> possible but will be a significant amount of work.
> To do this you'll need to be familiar with the internals of 
> both PS and PDF, so review these two documents
> Postscript Reference
> http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdfs/PLRM.pdf
> PDF Reference
> http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/index_referen
> ce.html
> Then just get started,
> Ben

> FYI, this is possible but PDFBox is far away from being 
> able to support this.  This is a great feature and will 
> stay as a request but if you want to see this in the near 
> future then I'll need some implementation help.
