[gs-devel] ps2ascii

[Gerold Böhler]

Well i suppose my answer was a little premature :-)

This is what i try:

/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT  
-dSIMPLE -f ps2ascii.ps 'file.pdf' -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1

and i always get all of the text from the pdf file.
I'm using ghostscript 8.70 via macports on snow leopard

Any more hints?

Thanks,

Gerold
