Professional Document Processing With Ghostscript

GhostXPS From Artifex: 

GhostXPS From Artifex A new language front-end for Ghostscript Target: full compatibility with Windows Vista’s XPS spec Automatic language-switching between all languages: PostScript (L1, L2, LL3) PDF (1.1-1.6) PCL 5e PCL/XL XPS Common graphics library for all languages

Common Graphics Library: 

Common Graphics Library PDF PCL/XL XPS PostScript Ghostscript Graphics Library PCL 5e Raster Files Printer Drivers TIFF JPEG PNG Inkjet Laser etc. PDF High-level API Argyll CMM Artifex font scaler WTS screening ETS screening

Common Graphics Library: 

Common Graphics Library Graphics library supports superset of language imaging models Advantages: Advanced transparency well supported (for PDF 1.4+) Including nested Canvas elements (PDF transparency groups) Highly tuned and optimized for printing Banding fully supported for transparency rendering (8.5x) Font scaler not limited to 16-bit coordinates Smaller footprint More consistent rendering High level output API supports conversion to PDF Cross-platform support
