PDF parser can't properly parse Postscript, sorry. On the other hand, Postscript parsers may be (and often are) able to parse PDF-s. > > Could anyone help with parsing PostScript in Nutch, please?

(...and BTW, parsing Postscript is definitely not on the same level of complexity as parsing PDF - Postscript is a full programming language, whereas PDF is "just" a page description format). -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com
