The tools for Ghostscript is an alternative to a number products released by Adobe. It uses the PostScript processor, which works on PDF files.
PostScript is the ancestor of the PDF and its complements. It is a programming language which focuses on the pages for describing how it is to be printed, while PDF is descriptive in its manner. You can convert PostScript/PDF and vice versa. Many systems printers and the handle both PostScript and PDF, the most commonly used exchange format between computers.
Although usually Ghostscript may run from command line or can be integrated with other available processes, you can also utilize it as a rendering engine for some viewers. Ghostview and GV is supported by Unix and VMS, MacGSview is a viewer used in Macintos. GSview supports OS/2, Windows and Linux. You must install the ghostscript before installing the GSview. The GSview once installed, it will directly open Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), PostScript and certainly PDF.
GSview does not provide nifty features. The toolbar at the top navigation offers basic features such as zoom and search (eyes). If you browse the menu, you will find plenty of PostScript utility functions. GSView is a great tool if you want to work with both PostScript and EPS files, because it allows you to explore these files as if they were PDF. GSView is also a very nice tool if your file that is behave abnormally, because it provides a wealth of detail about the errors of handling the PostScript and PDF. For many users, it is too simple to be useful, but even it lacks in eye candy, it has a hidden power.

Hello,
Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF related software and documentation. The files will be read, one per PDF, in alphanumeric order, so it is good. Thanks a lot.
