Ghostscript

Welcome to Ghostscript, an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF.

Releases and News

The leading edge of Ghostscript development is under the GNU Affero GPL license.

Ghostscript releases can be downloaded here, and from sourceforge.net.

NOTE:

With immediate effect development of Ghostscript and MuPDF is moving to the GNU Affero GPL license. Future releases, including the one scheduled for February 2013 (9.07) will similarly be released under the GNU Affero GPL license.
