PostScript is a page description language designed by Adobe in 1984 for the purpose of printing. A file described in PostScript language may contain text, raster/vector graphics and can be printed by any printer that supports PostScript without being opened in an application. In some cases, you might need to convert your Word document to PostScript. This article will show you how to achieve this task programmatically in Java using Spire.Doc for Java.
