Where can I find "a2ps" and "ps2pdf"?

[Juerg DENNEBERG]

Hi you all
I have to convert ascii-files to PDF. I was told that I have to convert it first to post script and then to PDF. The tools needed to do this are "a2ps" (ascii - postscript) and "ps2pdf" (postscript to pdf). Where can I find these two programs?
Many thanks Juerg Denneberg

In hp,uhm!! I don't know.But you can use this command to find a file .

find / -name a2ps -print

this will do a search whole system for a file called a2ps.You can do the same fo ps2pdf.

I guest you need to install the software to do a conversion.All HP software are in /opt.

regards

There are lots of tools:

as TG mentions ghostscript is one of the better ones..

I did this with a perl script I found a while back but then I ended up buying a txt2pdf program from pdf.glance.ch (along with a few other handy command line utilities) which now directs me to http://www.pdf-tools.com/en/index.html I ended up getting the command line tools for creating pdf files from my Unix scripts on HP-UX. I found that their program was much faster then the Perl program I had been using and with the large number of files I was converting I would go with the one from glance.ch

I don't know what they charge for their pdf command line tools but a few years ago it was pretty reasonable.
