About

Ghostscript is a powerful PostScript and PDF interpreter developed by Artifex, offering a rendering engine and comprehensive graphics library for high-quality document processing. It handles interpreting, processing, and rendering PostScript files and PDFs, supports complex page description language features, and includes utilities for converting, rasterizing, and manipulating documents. Ghostscript also has .NET bindings (Ghostscript.NET) so it can be integrated into .NET applications, and there’s an enterprise version (Ghostscript Enterprise) that extends capabilities to reading and processing common office documents like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The product is designed for precision rendering, color space management, and reliable output, making it suitable for both programmatic document workflows and production environments.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm looking for applications that are open, to get my privacy back. Simple to use, efficient and private. And they must be FOSS.

Cons

  • Does exactly what it is designed for, not much options.
