Convert PS2 to PDF

Understanding PS2 and PDF file formats

PS2 files are PostScript Level 2 files, a page description language used primarily for printing and desktop publishing. They contain instructions for printers to render text and graphics. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe for presenting documents consistently across different devices and platforms. PDF files preserve fonts, images, graphics, and layout, making them ideal for sharing and printing.
