PostScript files open wrongly

[terryg30800323]

I am trying to open postscript files. (.PS, not .PDF) I would like to save them as PDF files. Everything (Acrobat Pro, Reader, Apple Preview, etc.) puts four squares at the beginning of each paragraph, then overwrites the first few displaced letters onto the following letters.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Hi Terryg,

Sorry for the delayed response.

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are facing issue when trying to create a pdf using postscript file, is that correct?

Would it be possible to share the screenshot of the issue with us? To share the screenshot here in the forums, refer to the steps given in this link: https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7043#jive_content_id_How_do_I_attach_a_screenshot

Distiller version you are using? Launch Distiller > Help > About Acrobat Distiller

Also, is it possible to share the .ps file you are working with to replicate the issue at our end?? To share the file here in the forums, refer to the steps given in this link: How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud

You may also share the link for the pdf via private message - How Do I Send Private Message

Let us know if you need any help.

Create correct PostScript files.

The only way to convert PostScript files to PDF is to open them in Acrobat Distiller, a separate program that is installed with Adobe Acrobat. You cannot “open” PostScript files with the applications you mention.
