Conversions to PostScript (PS) and Printer Command Language (PCL) formats

It now became possible to save document to PostScript (PS) and Printer Command Language (PCL) formats when converting from PDF, word-processing, presentation, spreadsheet, web, e-mail, CAD, diagram, GIS, image, note, and project-management formats.

For example, the following code sample demonstrates how to convert a DOCX file to PS:

// Load the source DOCX file
try(Converter converter = new Converter("sample.docx")) {
   // Set the convert options
   PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions options = new PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions();
   options.setFormat(PageDescriptionLanguageFileType.Ps);
            
   // Convert to PS format
   converter.convert("converted.ps", options);
}
