One of the most basic techniques in desktop publishing
is to print to a PostScript device in order create a
PostScript file. The resulting .ps (or .prn) file can
be distilled into an PDF file with Adobe® Acrobat®
Distiller® or opened in an illustration program like
Adobe® Illustrator®, Macromedia® FreeHand®,
CorelDRAW® or Deneba Canvas™. Once opened in
one of these programs the file can be edited or saved
as an EPS file which can be placed into your layouts
or used in a variety of different ways. This is a basic
technique for porting files using PostScript.
Note: If you plan to print TrueType® fonts using a
