PS2ASCII(1)							 Ghostscript Tools						       PS2ASCII(1)

NAME

       ps2ascii - Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF to ASCII

SYNOPSIS

       ps2ascii [ input.ps [ output.txt ] ]
       ps2ascii input.pdf [ output.txt ]

DESCRIPTION

       ps2ascii  uses  gs(1) to extract ASCII text from PostScript(tm) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. If no files are specified on
       the command line, gs reads from standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not standard input.   If	no  output
       file is specified, the ASCII text is written to standard output.

       ps2ascii  doesn't  look at font encoding, and isn't very good at dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might
       consider pstotext (see below).

FILES

       Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details.

       ments to ps2ascii.
