Hello, we have a postscript level 2 rip on our imagesetter. Haven't been able to convince the owners to buy a postscript level 3 yet. First, I have tried every way I can think of to run windows XP but the postscript level 2 rip will not accept it. So now I'm back to running Windows 98. Every EPS we make from Illustrator has to be saved to 6.0 or the rip will not accept it. If people make us PDF's not saving them as acrobat 3.0 or (PDF 1.2) our rip will not accept it. I have just began using Ghostscript which seems to be working for me but I'm unsure how or why. All I do is open the PDF up and resave it. What I am asking is is there a way to take a "job.ps" postscript level 3 and resave it or convert it to a postscript level 2. I couldn't get Windows XP to work and I'm afraid MacOS X will have the same problems.
