Download Ghostscript
Ghostscript is an open source that inteprets PostScript (PS) and PDF in order to output them into raster format either for the screen or on a printer. This allows viewing of PS files and even printing eventhough you migth not have a PS enabled printer. GhostScript can also convert PS files into PDF - using the ps2pdf tool. GSView which is an add-on for GhostScript, and thus must be downloaded separately - allows you to view both PostScript and PDF files on screen. It also lets you print directly from the viewer - or export to the supported bitmap formats.
