I have used Ghostscript before, but it is not my most favorite printing
system.
I prefer to use, for Ubuntu, CUPS print drivers or Postscript one for
those printers I have that support it.

Ghostscript runs on pretty well all flavours of Linux. It can usually
convert a postscript file to raster (png). I think it is the back end
to PS2PDF so results may not be too much better.

Hi :)
I think this was meant to go to the list.
GhostScript sounds like a Windows app. It might be worth trying though.

PostScript = deadlock, if you have some PS files , then tranfer them to
PDF (via Gostscript) and then you are back in business

Is there a feature-request/bug-report about this format? It might
be worth posting one if there isn't.
It's a proprietary format so you are probably stuck with trying to
find an appropriate version of the program that can open them well
and then explore different output formats. Wrong versions of the
same program probably also mess the formatting up.

Is there any way to do this into Writer?
I have a number of files I originally created with FrameMaker (back
when I still used Windows), and I could never get it to create the
proper PDF output files, but I was able to create PS files from
them.
Now I'd like to put them into ODT format so I can edit, or even just
view, them again in Writer.
I've tried using ps2pdf, but that doesn't format the file
properly and
the output looks like crap. One problem seems to be that the PS
file
was created with a dual column format, and that seems to throw
ps2pdf
way off (which is odd since it displays perfectly in the document
viewer, but that refuses to print the file to a PDF).
For that matter, does LO support importing FrameMaker files? that
would be even better - I think. I tried it but all I got was 500
pages of junk (the file is 24 pages long).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
At this point I'm looking at printing them all out, scanning them
back
in and using the scanned PDFs, but that seems wrong.
Thanks.

Hi. We had a cad systen that output PS. I used to import that into
Inkscape or Karbon and then create the PDF or an EPS if I was
inserting
a diagram into a document.
Draw opens PDF reasonably well.
