Hello,
I am evaluating ps2txt to see if we can use it to convert our postscript
files to text files. It works when converting the test postscript file
provided with the download. But, when I try it on one of our postscript
files, no text is extracted. Only a couple of unprintable characters are in
the output. Is there an issue with postscript encoding and being able to
extract the text?
=============================
Can you please email to us your sample PS file and your Order ID (if you have)?
after we checked your sample PS file, we will figure out a solution to you shortly.
