<title>Converting a document to PostScript</title>

<p>
You can convert documents of the following format types to PostScript files:
</p>
<list>
 <item><p>DjVu (.djvu, .djv)</p></item>
 <item><p>Portable Document Format (.pdf)</p></item>
 <item><p>Tagged Image File Format (.tiff, .tif)</p></item>
</list>
<p>
This works by opening the file in <app>Atril</app> and "printing" the document as a PostScript file.
</p>
<steps>
    <item>
     <p> Go to
     <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">File</gui>
     <gui style="menuitem">Print</gui></guiseq>
      and
      select <gui>Print</gui> or press
      <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>P</key></keyseq> and go to the
      <gui>General</gui> tab.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
      Select <gui>Print to File</gui> and choose PostScript as the
      <gui>Output format</gui>.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
      Choose a name and folder in which to save the file, then click <gui>Print</gui>.
      The PostScript file will be saved in the folder you chose.
      </p>
    </item>
