At the Argument field add the following command (I would be happy if someone could give me some explanation concerning these parameters):.

At the Executable field add the path of the GS executable (in my case.

Copy the LaTeX=>PS profile, and on the Postprocessor tab add a new one (after DviPs), call it GhostScript, or whatever you want.

Install GhostScript 9.02 (somehow the MikTeX 2.9 ps2pdf doesn't close the document, so each time I would have had to do it manually).But I installed the GhostScript 9.02, and it works!įor other's information (who are not so talented, just like me), I write here how did I manage to create the right profile: The wizard unfortunately doesn't create the LaTeX=>PS=>PDF profile. I suppose that you misunderstood my question, but hopefully after many days of Googling I found the answer. (Note: I'm aware of the pstrick workaround for pdfTeX, that will take some source code changes but, hey, whatever it takes to get a high quality pdf document). Do you think it will give the high quality PDF output, comparable with ps->distiller->pdf? I know pdfTeX has lots of pdf-specific features, so may be I can get something which looks even better than pdf produced with distiller (?). My second question is regarding the alternative way: converting dvi directly to pdf, with either dvi-to-pdf or may be I should just install the latest MiKTeX with pdfTeX. I'd like to hear from anyone who knows of the good quality converter. I've tried several freeware tools which work by installing a virtual pdf printer, and didn't like any of them. Since I don't have Acrobat Pro available all the time (only when I'm on university computing system), I'm looking for something close in quality to distiller, but less expensive, or may be even freeware. With gsview/ghostscript conversion is OK but worse than with distiller.

Now if I can get a hold on Acrobat Pro, so I can use distiller to convert ps to pdf, this gives the superb result, no complains.

Since I use lots of pstricks (so I have an embedded postscript inside dvi), that's the most simplest way for me. I still have an old MikTeX distribution (pre-pdfTeX), and my normal workflow is to convert tex to dvi to ps, which I print, but sometime I need to generate pdf, so I simply convert ps to pdf.
