Adobe Display Postscript


Product Overview


The Display PostScript NX product from Adobe is a set of fonts, applications and system software for use by end users and application developers. It provides the capability to drive Display PostScript (DPS) over any X Window Server - any X terminal, PC X Server or workstation. In addition to providing DPS over a Networked X (DPS-NX) environment, it also provides software to show PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) files on an X Server, as well as 65 Type 1 Fonts.

Key Features and Benefits


Display PostScript NX contains the following key technologies:

Display PostScript NX Deluxe

Provides all of the functionality of DPS on any display - X terminals, PC X servers, and workstations without the DPS extension. This software runs on any SUN or HP workstation as a client application talking to the X Window System, and provides the real thing - full Adobe PostScript Level 2 support. This lets you run applications like Sun AnswerBook, Imagetool, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat Exchange and Reader, Adobe ShowPS and Adobe Type Installer. It also provides the windowing platform to deliver applications built with the Visual Action Toolset - combining Motif applications interoperability with the high quality and familiarity of PostScript images. DPS NX Deluxe also includes utilities to monitor and control DPS NX, demos and of course On-Line Documentation.

Adobe ShowPS

This is a full PostScript document viewer that allows users to page through documentation on-line. With ShowPS, you can magnify or reduce the view of a document, see how a color document would look on a monochrome printer, and preview PostScript documents before printing.

Adobe Acrobat Reader

This is a key part of the Adobe Acrobat product family. Adobe Acrobat is a way to distribute and view documents electronically, with a print on demand capability. It enables you to maintain the document colors, images and fonts on all platforms. This product is based on the Portable Document Format (PDF) - and allows any PDF document to be viewed interactively on any X Window device. (On SUN version only)

65 Type 1 Fonts

These are the best fonts available for the X Window System - with the 35 standard typefaces found in most PostScript printers, and 30 more best selling Adobe typefaces. These fonts also include the ability to download the fonts to a PostScript printer.

Prerequisite


SunOS 4.1.3., Solaris 2.3., HP-UX 9.0.1. running X11R5. Product includes Installation Guide and On-Line documentation.
