pstoedit is afree computer program that convertsPostScript andPDF files to othervector formats. It supports many output formats, includingWMF/EMF,PDF,DXF,CGM, andHTML, and by means of free/shareware pluginsSVG,MIF andRTF. The author and maintainer is Wolfgang Glunz.
pstoedit usesghostscript to perform the first part of the conversion process. Ghostscript converts the PostScript (or PDF) file to a more basic PostScript format, translating complex functions to basic functions, such as line draw commands. The second part of the conversion process consists of translating these basic functions into basic functions of the output format.
pstoedit is multi platform. For MS Windows, a setup program is available for both 32bit and 64bit, which does the complete job (including for instance making the connection with ghostscript and MS Office). Three interfaces can be installed: the command line interface, an interface by means ofgsview and an import filter forMS Office. However, to make actual use of this MS Office interface a $50 registration is required (this registration also adds functionality to the other two interfaces).
