Converting a postscript (.ps) file to pdf format in OS X/UNIX

A postscript (.ps ) file can be converted to pdf format fairly easily from a UNIX terminal in OS X using ps2pdf.

• Open the Terminal     application, located in the Applications -> Utilities folder.

• Navigate to the directory containing the postscript file you wish to convert.

  e.g. if your file is on your OS X desktop, enter the command: cd ~/Desktop

• To convert a file named myfile.ps, enter:

  ps2pdf myfile.ps myfile.pdf
