at the porting center http://hpux.asknet.de
you will also find a tool called a2ps which converts any ASCII File to a PS file. Use this and pipe it through ghostscript or Acrobat distiller.

This is a two step solution

Hi,

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/pstotext-1.7/

down load the pstotext from the above site and store it in a directory (say /tmp)
#cd /tmp
#gunzip pstotext*.gz
#swinstall -s /tmp/pstotext-1.7-sd-10.20.depot

Hi,

This product is available in depot mode only for HP-UX 10.20 and have the following dependencies:
ghostscript
gs_f_other-5.10
gs_f_std-5.10
libpng
zlib

1.- To HP-UX 11.0 you need download build it from HP-UX Source Code Tar Image (gzipped) from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/pstotext-1.7/ to your PC.

2.- Move (FTP Binary) to /var/tmp/pstotext dir into your HP-UX box.

3.- Unzip it; gzip -d pstotext-1.7-ss-10.20.tar.gz

4.- Untar it; tar xvf pstotext-1.7-ss-10.20.tar

5.- Build it by makefile following the steps indicated in Readme.hppd and HPUX.install files. Be sure that dependencies were installed previously!

Rgds.

This handles certain issues in that arena. You'll need adobe on the server as well to properly handle conversions.

Just downloaded and checked.

Sorry!
HPUX.Install is the readme file for the installation.

You have to tar the file to a seperate folder and just run

#make install

But check for the dependencies that Jose has specified

There are some dependencies as
