24
25 __ps2ascii__ uses gs(1) to extract ASCII text from
2 perry 26 __!PostScript__(tm) or Adobe __Portable Document
1 perry 27 Format__ (PDF) files. If no files are specified on the
28 command line, __gs__ reads from standard input; but PDF
29 input must come from an explicitly-named file, not standard
30 input. If no output file is specified, the ASCII text is
31 written to standard output.

34 __ps2ascii__ doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't
2 perry 35 very good at dealing with kerning, so for !PostScript (but
1 perry 36 not currently PDF), you might consider __pstotext__ (see
37 below).
