Hi all,
i'm trying to convert postscript files to pdf using batch commands (ms-
dos) and ghostscript. I can print it if I write the file name in this
manner:
gsview32 "-sHP LaserJet 1300" c:\1.ps
but I need to print several files in this manner:
gsview32 "-sHP LaserJet 1300" c:\*-1.ps
where * is a different name each time. However, these instructions
doesn't work. I think that gsview doesn't understand a random file
*-1.ps. Is there a way to do what I want? Is it possible to convert
these .ps files to .pdf using batch command+ghostscript?
Thanks in advance. Best Regards,
Antonio Ruiz.

GSView is not Ghostscritp, I would start by using Ghostscritp

Yes, but not like that. Use the Shell command 'for', eg:
For %s in (*-1.ps) do gswin32c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite ..... %s

This works in a batch (.bat) file: for %%s in (c:\*-1.ps) do gsview32

FreeDist using the same .bat file (under a windows-xp environment).
Therefore, problem solved!
Thanks to all.
