GSview offers a graphical interface for Ghostscript, an interpreter of PostScript, which is frequently utilized by laser printers. This software facilitates accessibility and management of the PostScript language.
In order to use GSview, you'll need to have Ghostscript 7 or a later version installed on your computer. Once you're up and running, you'll be able to take advantage of a number of key features. For instance, you can view pages in any order you like, jumping from one page to the next with ease.
Whether you want to print selected pages using Ghostscript, convert pages to bitmap, PDF or PostScript, or extract selected pages to another file, you can do it all with GSview. The software even allows you to add bitmap or user previews to EPS files, giving you even more control over your documents.
Other useful features include the ability to extract text or search for text, read gzip and bzip2 compressed PostScript and PDF files, and take advantage of on-line help. You can choose from a variety of different display resolutions and depths to suit your needs. Plus, GSview is available in a range of different languages, including English, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish.
GSview is free to use and works with Ghostscript versions 7.04 through 9.99 (older versions are available for use with Ghostscript 4.03 through 7.00). The software is available for Win32, OS/2 and Linux/X11 systems and can even be run directly off a CD-ROM. With per user initialisation files for Windows and a setup program included, GSview is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable PostScript and PDF viewer.
