Why Convert PostScript and PDF?

PostScript and PDF are ideal formats to generate visual content from any source application or database on any platform because they are robust printer languages. Both are high-quality, industry-standard page layout formats capable of handling vector graphics, raster images and font text. Both are ideally suited to a range of document types including single-page complex graphics and long composite documents. If your source application doesn't export to PostScript or PDF, printing to a file using PostScript or PDF drivers is an easy and robust method to store your output in an application-independent and easy to view format.

Creating portable content from the source application is challenging. Moving it into the target applications while preserving the layout, quality and usability of the original is an even greater challenge. Most applications don't offer native support for importing PostScript or PDF files. At best, they can place the file on a page but do not allow editing. PDF FLY transforms your files into the optimal file format for your authoring or publishing workflow - whether it's MIF for FrameMaker or WMF for Microsoft  Word - guaranteeing that your graphics will be fully scalable and editable. 

You can even search, edit and reuse the text strings contained in the files.
