Thread Name: Tech: Converting PDF Sheet Music
Subject: RE: Tech: Converting PDF Sheet Music
I'm still messing around with PDF files of sheet music and along the way have re-discovered a number of sources of .PS (PostScript) image files of sheet music (mostly Celtic tunes).

I vaguely know that you can magically send these directly to a PostScript compatible printer and hey presto they will be printed, but have no idea how to make this happen. Can someone fill me in please?

In the meantime I've found a really neat web-site that will convert a .PS file to an Acrobat .PDF file for you. It's quick and easy and saves you the trouble of downloading GhostScript and GSView software. It's located at http://www.ps2pdf.com/convert/index.htm and it's free. Once I have the PDF file I can copy it to a more conventional graphics editor for some further fiddling.

Regards
John
