What I was mentioning earlier was to use the Windows (Microsoft) to redirect

the printing output to a file instead of the printer, on PCs. Of course you must

have a Postscript Driver installed to be able to save PS files. (I think some

generic postscript drivers are supplied with Windows 3.1.)

 

With the assumption that the Postscript Printer Driver is installed here are

the steps to save a document from any Windows word-processing application, to

a postscript (actually encapsulated postscript or eps) file. This file can

then be mailed.

 

1). Before opening the application, open Control panel from the Main group.

Open the Printers icon under control panel.

 

2). Select any of the already installed postscript drivers as the active

printer.

 

3). Go to the "setup" section. Then on to "options". Here you can

select "encapsulated postscript file" for the "Print To" option.

 

4). Then proceed to the "advanced" option under the current menu.

Select "Conform to Adobe Document Structuring Conventions"

 

5). Click OK 3 times (once in every level) to come back up the hierarchical

menus to the top menu. then "close" the printers dialog box and exit

control panel.

 

6). Once you open the word processing application, make sure that the

same postscript printer driver is selected in "Print Setup".

 

7). When you are ready to print using the "Print" option it will ask

ask you for a Default file name for the file it is going to print to.

Just give any suitable name with a ".eps" extension, so we can remember

it is an encapsulated postscript file.

 

I believe that Macintosh users have a similar mechanism to save files on

apple applications.

 

On Unix platforms at least FrameMaker has a "print to file" option which

also saves postscript files.
