GPL Ghostscript serves as an interpreter for both the PostScript language and PDF files. To put it simply, it acts as a translator for the aforementioned tools and allows you to view, convert, and print these files easily.

The tool provides a comprehensive set of controls and parameters to optimize PDF files according to specific requirements, balancing file size reduction with quality considerations. The PDF interpreter identifies and notifies you of errors within PDF files, ensuring compatibility with different PDF consumers like printers.

It optimizes PDF file size by removing extraneous data, compressing images, and reducing image resolutions. You can apply various controls to adjust image compression, color spaces, and resolution levels, resulting in significant space savings without compromising quality.

While navigating these settings may be complex, it offers a robust solution for efficiently managing and optimizing PDF files for various purposes.

The team behind the tool found a new way to use OCR called High-Security Redactions. This method combines OCR with redaction tools to fix a problem: leaks in redacted PDFs.

Redacting PDFs is common in businesses and it involves hiding certain parts of a document. Sometimes, the redaction doesn't work correctly, and sensitive information gets exposed. This can happen due to human mistakes, software errors, or using the wrong methods. The High-Security Redactions are able to  address this issue.

You will be happy to learn that GPL Ghostscript lets you transform PostScript and PDF files into various other formats, including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and EPS.

While conversion may not seem like a wow feature overall, the truth is that it brings flexibility to adapt your files to different requirements and platforms, be it web publishing, image editing, or printing purposes.
