PostScript and PDF files are opened as other image files in the Open dialog.
By default the first page is opened. You can use the Previous
and Next
tool buttons to navigate in a multi-page document.
You can also use the Go To command in the Edit menu to
open the Go To dialog.

When you open a PS or PDF file in EasyCopy every page you request is converted to raster format.
This is useful when you want to treat the page as an image, and this is exactly the purpose of
the PS/PDF support is EasyCopy.
However, this approach is not very efficient if you just want to browse a document. You should therefore not expect that EasyCopy can replace a general PDF browser. |
EasyCopy uses Ghostscript as a filter to convert PostScript and PDF files into raster format.
The filters are established by the following lines in the filter definition file:
