Hello,

I have a query which I searched on internet a lot, but didn't find the answer.

What type of Post script file is this (Attached here in this link)

Dropbox - 1000251580.ps

I see different software produces different type of Ps, of which I found this type to be most small in Size

How can I convert my existing PDF file to such type of PS  ?

Is there any software application or Code to create such PS from PDF Programatically  ?

Kindly Guide

It isn't a Post script file, but rather a PostScript file.  

It appears to be generated by something other than a standard Windows or MacOS driver, but rather by some application-specific driver.

It is invalid in terms of proper printing or ability to create PDF since it has a built in reference to a font named Arial-Bold, a font that is neither installed on your computer (Windows or MacOS) or on PostScript printers; i.e. it references such a font but doesn't define that font in the PostScript stream. If you try to distill with Acrobat Distiller, it fails with “font not found” and if you try to print, you end up with Courier. The proper host PostScript font name is Arial-BoldMT. For PostScript 3 printers that have Arial Bold as a resident font, the proper PostScript font name is also Arial-BoldMT.

Why are you trying to produce PostScript files? That is so 20th Century.
