Because the software described here is no longer being maintained, this document may be obsolete, or inconsistent with ps2epsi.1. For other information, see the Ghostscript overview. Overviewps2epsi is a utility based on Ghostscript, which takes as input a PostScript file and generates as output a new file which conforms to Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format, a special form of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to the beginning of the file, as PostScript comments, a low-resolution monochrome bitmap image of the final displayed page. Programs which understand EPSI can use this bitmap as a preview on screen of the full PostScript page. The displayed quality is often not very good, but the final printed version uses the "real" PostScript, and thus has the normal full PostScript quality. Framemaker can use EPSIThe Adobe Framemaker DTP system is one application which understands EPSI files, and ps2epsi has been tested using Framemaker 3.0 on a Sun workstation with a number of PostScript diagrams from a variety of sources. Framemaker on other platforms may also be able to use files made with ps2epsi, although this has not been tested. Usage
