We commercially license and support Ghostscript technology. Ghostscript is an open technology that has evolved over 10 years. It is freely available on the net, subject to Aladdin's licensing agreement. If you want to use Ghostscript technology for commercial purposes, you are in the right place: we license and support Ghostscript. See our licensing page for more information on terms of licensing.
Ghostscript was originally a PostScript language interpreter , but has evolved into much more. We have a full PDF interpreter (Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format) as well as supporting Hewlett-Packard's PCL 5c, 5e, and XL .
In addition to Ghostscript's interpreter/rasterizer capabilities we now offer full "Distiller" capability - the ability to convert from PostScript to PDF while maintaining high-level text, font, and vector graphics information. Please see our press release .
We also have a separable graphics engine that supports the full richness of the PostScript imaging model and can be used in your application without the front-end interpreters, if desired.
Ghostscript has a large number of back end file format and device driver modules that enable it to produce many popular graphics image file formats (TIFF, JPEG, EPS, etc) as well as drive a host of raster devices.
Ghostscript is an excellent choice if you're looking for a customized software solution to a complex imaging problem, if you want to support imaging devices for which there is no PostScript interpreter available, or to build into products of your own design.
