[ For an even easier introduction, one may also consult the web page of Eric Weeks ]. Since most printers today use the PostScript language internally, it is clear that everything a printer can do, can be done by programming directly in the PostScript language. PostScript is like the gate that every file destined to be printed, must walk through. Hence anything that isn't PostScript is either stripped away and discarded, or is translated to PostScript before being allowed to pass through.One of the problems with current PostScript files, is that they have usually been produced by automatic conversion from various user application output files. The result is files that cannot be meaningfully read by humans : Inspecting them merely gives the user an impression of what computer-generated chaos can look like. But it need not be that way : If a human being writes graphic instructions directly in the PostScript language, the ps file may be structured and commented, so that it becomes readable and editable for the normal user, provided he has learned the rudiments of the language, and the ps file sticks with the most elementary ps commands, that may be assumed to form part of every ps user's basic vocabulary.The advantages of writing graphics instructions directly in the PostScript language are twofold :i) Extremely small filesii) The output is vector graphics, which means that the images may be arbitrarily magnified without losing any sharpness.As a third point, I wish to mention that today the route from PostScript to PDF is extremely short and easy. For example, under the Mac OS X system, the standard application "Preview" will immediately open the ps file, and display it in the built in screen PDF format. From Preview one only needs to "Save" the file as PDF. An alternative is to use either Ghostscript, or Adobe's own "Acrobat Distiller", which may give certain advantages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need or want to learn PostScript - but this book. Really 2 books in 1. *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2018* If you DON'T need nor want to learn PostScript - don't buy this book. The first 1/2 is a good introduction to the basics and most necessary elements of the language. The second 1/2 is a "cook book" of programs, snippets, algorithms, and techniques. Personally, I am still on the Tutorial, but I browsed the Cookbook and it looks tasty. ( Then again, I thought Kernighan & Ritchie wrote an easy-to-understand "C Programming Language" ) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recieved what was expected *by J***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2021* The book is just what I ordered in very good condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/12407545-postscript-language-tutorial-and-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.in/products/12407545-postscript-language-tutorial-and-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
