I was unaware of the fact that pstopdf came preinstalled, otherwise I would probably have used it.
This said, I made a quick comparison, and noticed: - While the resulting files look similar (but not identical), the one generated by ps2pdf is smaller (33537 vs 206104 bytes in my case). - Ghost ps2pdf defaults to compatibility with PDF v1.4, while Apple pstopdf generates a file compatible with PDF v1.3 (not configurable). - They both use the Courier font, but ps2pdf embeds the PostScript Type 1 font, while pstopdf embeds the TrueType font. This may be the main reason for the size difference. Just some useless info at the weekend. ;-) On Thu, 29 Jun 2023 at 19:22, Richard Mitchell <rwmitch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Advantages of ps2pdf over pstopdf ? -- Yongwei Wu URL: http://wyw.dcweb.cn/ -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
