Convert PostScript to PDF and images with Java

README.md

PS Conversion Examples

These code snippets show how to convert PostScript (PS) files to other formats using Aspose.Page for Java. The library provides robust tools for transforming PS/EPS documents into PDF, images, and more.

Key Use Cases

• Convert PS files to PDF.
• Convert PS files to raster images (PNG, JPEG, BMP).
• Automate PS/EPS conversion for archiving or publishing.

How to Run Examples

1. Ensure Aspose.Page for Java is referenced in your project.
2. Copy the relevant code snippet into your project.
3. Download a temporary license and set it up as described here or use a paid license.
4. Run the example.

Restrictions

In evaluation mode, input PS/EPS file is limited to 500Kb. Set up a valid temporary or paid license to unlock full functionality.
