I'm actually opening older postscript files i have done, and when they open, the image is spread all over the place, and not how it was when made and used for spes... so wierd....!


PostScript files can be converted to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

Same as the PostScript output when printing separations using the Distiller PPD 

The direct download for the PPD:
