The paper library and accompanying files are intended to provide a simple
way for applications to take actions based on a system- or user-specified
paper size.
This release is quite minimal, its purpose being to provide really basic
functions (obtaining the system paper name and getting the height and
width of a given kind of paper) that applications can immediately
integrate.
A more complete library, using a capabilities file for papers (giving,
in addition to the size, informations like paper weigth, color, etc)
will be released later.
See the sources for paperconf(1) in src/paper.c for how to use the library.

PHP extention to generate postscript by using pslib.
A user level printer frontend
A clone of the proprietary enscript program from Adobe Systems. For those
who have never used enscript, it is a good ASCII to Postscript converter.
The main features of nenscript are:
. produces Postscript output which fully conforms to
the Document Structuring Conventions
. support for normal and "gaudy" output
. support for single or double column output
. allows insertion of titles and headers in any font.
. multiple copies of a document
Features additional to nenscript are:
. automatic wrapping of long lines

If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover,
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses.
Pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents.
Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to:
Merge PDF Documents
Split PDF Pages into a New Document
Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
Encrypt Output as Desired
Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks
Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes
in a stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI
allow C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes.
Foomatic is a database-driven system for integrating free software
printer drivers with common spoolers under Unix. It supports CUPS,
LPRng, LPD, GNUlpr, Solaris LP, PPR, PDQ, CPS, and direct printing
with every free software printer driver known to us and every printer
known to work with these drivers.
ps2eps is a tool (written in Perl) to produce Encapsulated PostScript Files
(EPS/EPSF) from usual one-paged Postscript documents. It calculates correct
Bounding Boxes for those EPS files and filters some special postscript command
sequences that can produce erroneous results on printers.
pstotext extracts ASCII text from PostScript and PDF files. It
uses Ghostscript, but does a more careful job with kerned characters
and nonstandard font encodings than Ghostscript's ps2ascii utility.
rtf2latex2e is a program that translates RTF (rich text format) files into
LaTeX files. It translates text formatting, tables, figures, and equations.
The resulting LaTeX files are quite readable and suitable for editing.
sgf2tex is a system for typesetting Go games and diagrams using TeX. This
system may be used with either plain TeX or LaTeX. It includes the Metafont
sources for a new set of Go fonts, and a Perl script called Sgf2tex which
translates files in ``Smart Go Format'' (SGF) into TeX.
