GPL Ghostscript 9.10 description
GPL Ghostscript is a software package that bundles interpreters for PostScript languages and PDF files, as well as a collection of C procedures for implementing filtering and graphics.
Due to its robust engine, GPL Ghostscript has many uses in computer software, in areas that include PDF viewing and conversion, raster computer printers and programming, the last of which serves to create scripts and applications related mostly to the PDF format.
The fact that it achieves so much at no cost quickly made it a worthy candidate for porting to other operating systems other than Windows, such as Unix, Linux, MAC, FreeDos, Amiga OS, MS-DOS and OpenVMS.
While developers are using it to create libraries and apps, the end user is enjoying the perks of GPL Ghostscript sometimes without even knowing it. In fact, there are a number of popular applications that depend on Ghostscript in order to open or convert PostScript and PDF files.
Software such as IrfanView or Inkscape are currently using it for PDF viewing capabilities, not to mention the number of virtual printers that are counting on it for PDF creation and printing.
GPL Ghostscript is also known for its ability to convert PostScript files to PDF, as well as to turn PDF documents to raster images (JPEG, TIFF, PNG). This is usually done with the aid of a virtual printer that can be implemented using, of course, Ghostscript.
The set of C procedures bundled inside it may prove of great assistance to developers, allowing for the implementation of graphics and filtering, including data compression and decompression inside dedicated PDF applications.
On an ending note, GPL Ghostscript is a multi-purpose software that can be used as an engine for viewing and converting PDF and Postscript documents, as well as a steady development platform.
What's New in This Release:
· Background printing (BGPrint) is a new feature allowing an accumulated page clist to be rendered by one or more rendering threads whilst the interpreter (in the "main" thread) continues to accumulate the subsequent page's clist. For certain classes of file this can result in a useful performance increase.
· GrayDetection allows suitably written devices to detect "color" input in near neutral tones (i.e. near monochrome) and to convert "on-the-fly" to pure grayscale, whilst retaining the ability to print full color on demand. This is primarily aimed at workflows where saving ink (especially color inks) is required.
· LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the latest versions.
· Support has been added to build the Ghostscript DLL for WinRT for x86, x64 and ARM (Requires MS Visual Studio 2012 Pro).
· Processing of Windows command line arguments into UTF8 (as presaged a few releases ago) has been enhanced and enabled by default.
· The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the late...
