  PostScript® Printing Without a Printer- Windows® XP - Part One

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 PostScript printer in Windows, please see this very important tutorial on avoiding font substitution. Click here for a tutorial on how to configure the PostScript printer to avoid font substitution.
