Portable ps to pdf freeware to print pdf without software installation
qkn...@gmail.com
software (installing postscript (ps) printer driver is ok), are there
anybody know if there are portable ps to pdf freeware I could use to
convert my ps file (produced by the ps printer) to pdf?
pdfCreator nearly do the job when I install and uninstall it (with the
pdfcreator folder copy out) but it requires me to copy back some dll
etc to the "c:\program files\pdfcreator" directory.

If you are desperate and don't mind command line apps with a little
experimenting.
get ps2pdf from
http://www.tinyempire.com/shortnotes/files/ps2pdf.exe
This will install ghostscript and a load of script/batch files.
If you do not want to install it get uniextractor to unpack the ps2pdf.exe
http://legroom.net/software/uniextract
When installed/unpacked, copy all the font files to the \bin folder then
copy all the \lib files to \bin
the \bin folder is now your portable app. Put it on a memory stick or
whatever you use.
using it
say your memory stick mounts as drive M:
open a command window (run cmd)
navigate to drive M: (cd M:) then to \bin (cd \bin)
run the command ps2pdf "..pathto.."\file.ps "..pathto.."\file.pdf
caveats
I have only tried this on my computers, so I know it works but...
The output page size seems to be fixed at Letter or maybe A4 so anything
smaller gets placed in a corner with 2 sides as margins.

"Thanks" little twirp Thomas as well. A portable software is a
software that can run itself without interfering your system and you
can bring it to other computers to use. If you don't know the answer,
or you are too stupid to realise that, or you don't like portable
software, why don't you just shut up and stop insulting yourself and
revealing your ignorance. You could also help save others' time, our
precious energy and the bandwidth.

It is possible to use ghostscript and ghostview without installation, as long
as you are willing to manually call up gsview to load the .ps output file
and convert to pdf from its GUI. All you actually need to "install" is a
Windows printer driver that is capable of generating generic ps output and
telling it to save the output to a file. (GhostScript comes with a generic
printer driver in its "lib" folder which is specifically optimized for
producing PostScript files suitable for easy conversion to PDF).
I followed these instructions - downloading the self-extracting-zip
installers for gs and gsv and manually extracting the files with WinZip;
then moving a few folders around (you basically want to have gs as a
subfolder of gsv so it can be "found" without its registry entries being
present) and then running GhostViewPortable.exe:
