How do I convert a PDF file to PostScript (PS) using LetsConvert?

To convert, open the PDF to PS tool, upload your PDF file by dragging it into the upload area, select 'PS' as the output format, then click 'Convert'. Once the conversion is finished, download your .ps file. For batch conversions, upload multiple PDFs at once and they will be processed sequentially.

Why would I choose PostScript (PS) over PDF for printing?

PostScript is a device-independent page description language that many professional RIPs and old printers still use natively. Converting PDF to PS ensures your document prints accurately on legacy equipment without PDF support. PS files are also often smaller than PDFs for pure vector content, saving transfer time to prepress servers.

What happens to transparency, fonts, and vector graphics when converting PDF to PS?

The conversion flattens any live transparency effects because PostScript Level 3 has no native transparency support. Rendering such effects using a high DPI rasterization ensures the visual appearance stays intact. Vector paths and curves remain vector, and embedded fonts are either mapped to the closest Type 1/TrueType equivalent or outlined to avoid font substitution issues. Color profiles are kept embedded, so CMYK and spot colors remain consistent across RIPs.
