This is such a useful thread - being a returning user myself, it has got some really great info. Since I got back into Amigas in February, I must confess, I haven't really got into the software in a big way (just games and WB tinkering), which kind of defeats the object of having a computer in the first place!

Cheers

@mantisspider

these last few years I have been told by printers, "supply it as a PDF please", so as soon as my amiga is able to convert DTP and Graphic files perfectly into flawless PDF files then i dont need to keep playing with my PC.

As Jeffimix mentioned, there are a number of recent ports of GhostScript to the Amiga that do an excellent job of converting Postscript output (many Amiga applications including PageStream, FinalWriter and WordWorth can output Postscript) to PDF.

We use this method to create PDFs of Total Amiga for our printer (who are not Amiga-aware BTW) and have never had any problems.

Here is a link to the port of GS 8 I use.

Hi Robert,

thanks for the link,
I was worried about the output of PDF for pagestream after reading the pagestream review from ur Total Amiga and its said about it not being able to print natively to PDF, and 3rd party apps are needed and you need to convert it a couple of times.

i never used ghost script, about time i did :-)

thanks
