PostScript (PS or PRN)

PostScript (PS) files use PostScript language to describe the layout of text, vector graphics, or bitmaps for printing and display purposes. They can contain multiple pages.

PostScript files usually have a .ps filename extension, but you can also import PostScript files with a .prn extension. Files with a .prn filename extension, commonly known as Printer (PRN) files, contain instructions about how a file should be printed. These files let you reprint a document even if the application in which the document was created is not installed on your computer.

During the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite installation, you have the option of installing Ghostscript, which is an application that interprets the PostScript file format. Ghostscript assists the file importing process. If you did not install Ghostscript during the installation, see To install Ghostscript.

You can also import encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files. For more information, see Encapsulated PostScript (EPS).

To import a PostScript (PS or PRN) file

1 .	Click File Import.

The File Import command lets you place the file as an object in the active image. If you want to open a PostScript file as an image, click File Open.
