CategoryImage File
DescriptionPS (PostScript) is a dynamic page description language used for creating vector and raster graphics and texts. No applications are used to open PS images, since they are printed directly via printers featuring raster image processors, or any other printer application supporting PostScript. Although the format has been replaced by PDF, many of today’s printers are still set up for PS. Since not all home printers support PS, it is recommended to convert PS to PDF using Acrobat Distiller or any third-party converter.

PDF to PS Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

Upload your .pdf file to the converter above and click Convert. The converter translates the PDF's internal drawing commands into equivalent PostScript operators and writes a .ps file ready for download. No software installation or account required.
Both are Adobe-developed page description languages, but they serve different roles. PostScript (PS) is a Turing-complete programming language designed to drive printers and imagesetters — it describes how to draw each page procedurally. PDF evolved from PostScript and is a fixed, self-contained document format optimized for display, distribution, and archiving. Professional RIP (Raster Image Processor) hardware and high-end print workflows often accept PS directly; PDF is the standard for digital distribution.
Commercial print workflows — offset printing, large-format plotters, phototypesetters — often use PostScript-based RIPs (Harlequin, Adobe PostScript 3) that accept PS streams natively. Sending PS directly to a RIP bypasses the PDF interpreter layer and can give print operators more direct control over halftone settings, color separation, and output device parameters. Some older printers also accept only PostScript and not PDF.
Yes. The converter maps PDF fonts, colors, and vector paths to their PostScript equivalents. The resulting PS file produces the same page appearance when run through a PostScript interpreter (Ghostscript, a PS printer driver, or a hardware RIP). Embedded images are carried through as PS image data.
The online converter accepts PDF files up to 50 MB. PostScript output is typically larger than the source PDF because PS stores drawing instructions verbosely rather than in a compressed binary format. For large files or batch conversion of production-print PDF archives to PS, use the desktop Total PDF Converter.
The online tool handles one file at a time. For automated print workflows, the desktop Total PDF Converter supports command-line scripting: TotalPDFConverter.exe C:\PrintQueue\*.pdf /ps /out C:\PSOutput\. You can call this from a hot-folder watcher or Windows Task Scheduler to automatically prepare incoming PDFs as PostScript files for your RIP.
