Creating a PDF file from postscript document in C #

Question

Possible duplicate:
itextsharp postscript in pdf

For the application, I get the postscript file from the application. This postscript file is sent to our application, and we must create a PDF file for it for end users.

What is the fastest way to do this? Is there a library (free or not) that does the job? Or some classes in C # that can do this?

We should only do this in code, so there is no “printing and choosing a PDF printer."

This should work in our C # application.

Any idea?

Thanks!

You will need a PostScript interpreter, if you get PostScript, there is no alternative. You also need one that can produce a PDF file as output instead of a bitmap.

The only PostScript PostScript interpreter that still exists, to my knowledge, is Ghostscript, which is licensed under the GPL. You will need to determine if this license can be used by you.

Otherwise, there are several commercial alternatives. Ghostscript is also licensed commercially, and there are products from Global Graphics and Adobe.
