Jeremias Maerki resolved PDFBOX-1158.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Please don't use JIRA to ask questions. Questions should be sent to 
[email protected].

1a. Apache PDFBox cannot directly create PostScript from PDF. But it supports 
painting PDF pages to Graphics2D objects. That means you can use the print 
function to print a PDF to a PostScript printer driver (set to output to a file 
if needed). Or you can use PSDocumentGraphics2D from Apache XML Graphics 
Commons to create PostScript files but the former is easier. 
http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PrintPDF.html can serve as a 
starting point.

1b. Apache PDFBox cannot create PDF from PostScript because it lacks a complete 
PostScript interpreter to start with. You may need to look at GhostScript for 
that functionality (available under the GPL or a commercial license). 
GhostScript can do PDF->PS, too.

2. See http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PDFMerger.html

Any follow-up questions to [email protected], please.
