Using Ghostscript to Convert PS to PDF
Creo 2, M230 on Windows 7, 64 bit
This is slightly off topic as it's mainly a Ghostscript question, but it's related to generating PDFs from Creo and I know that many here use Ghostscript.
At my former job I had used Distiller to create PDFs from PS output from Creo. It worked well and bypassed the many issues I saw with the built-in PDF creation in Creo. I'd like to do the same here, but we do not have Distiller available to all users. I was looking at using Ghostscript, specifically the ps2pdf utility as a Distiller replacement, but I'm having no luck with it. Unfortunately, the learning curve for GS is rather steep.
I've run the 64 bit GS installer and added a couple of install folders to my path statement and ps2pdf runs without error (I'm using the syntax "path/to/ps2pdf inout.ps output.pdf") but produces no output.
Anyone have an idea what I'm missing to get this running?
Alternatively, anyone have a free or cheap means of scripting the conversion of a PS file to PDF like Distiller?
