How to use PostScript for Capital Region of Denmark
- Ghostscript (free) — both viewing and conversion: ps2pdf map.ps map.pdf gives you a PDF, and calling gs with -r300 rasterizes the sheet at the resolution you need.
- GSview on Windows or Evince on Linux — open the .ps directly and look at the page without converting it.
- Adobe Distiller — the regular prepress route: PostScript in, PDF with font and color control out.

FAQ: PostScript for Capital Region of Denmark
How does PS differ from EPS?
EPS is PostScript with an extra BoundingBox wrapper for embedding inside other documents. PS is a full multi-page document. They are close cousins technically.
Can I open .ps on Windows without Adobe Reader?
Yes — GSview (free) or Ghostscript converts PS to PDF in one command: ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf.
Is PostScript obsolete?
On the web, yes. For pre-press, RIP servers, and the LaTeX pipeline, it is still a standard. Most office-grade printers understand PostScript natively.
Are layers preserved in .ps?
PostScript has no native layer concept (unlike AI/PDF). The map is rendered as a single vector stream.
What sheet size do I get?
297x210 mm by default — that is A4 in landscape orientation; raster elements are drawn at 300 DPI. The sheet size is set at export time, so the map can be rebuilt for A3 or a non-standard size.
