cordobapab · #1 (**permalink**) 01-18-2006

Hi everybody,

I have more tan 300 images postscripts (.ps) in my UNIX enviroment.

I would like to have all these images in a single Power Point presentation (windows enviroment).

Anybody has a clue how to convert all those .ps file into a format recognized by Power Point in an automatic way? (In order not to repeat the process hundreds of times.....)

Thank you very much,

Pablo.

ghostscript will convert ps to other graphic formats
example:

Code:

gs -sDEVICE=gif8 -sOutputFile=blah.gif -r50 blah.ps

makes a gif file

So,

Code:

for file in `ls -1 *.ps`
do
     tmp=`basename $file`
     $file1="$tmp".gif
     gs -sDEVICE=gif8 -sOutputFile=$file1 -r50 $file
done

will convert all of the ps files in the current directory.

Download ghostscript here:
