Hi,

I need to find a way of displaying a postscript file in my html page. Does anyone know of a way of embedding the page in the html if I give it a specified width and height? Is it possible or should I try to convert the file to a different format???

Thanks.

Or if for example it's full of maths, which html just can't do, it would be more sensible to convert to PDF. Postscript is basically a printer format, and I don't know what browser support there is for it...

You could link to the original PS file. Those of us with PS viewers, or the ability to feed PS docs to PS printers, could use the original PS file.

But PDF is more widely supported than PS if you can't convert it to HTML.
