Printing to a PostScript file

As an alternative to printing your document on the printer, you can save a
PostScript language description of your document as a disk file. PostScript
language descriptions of documents can be useful for

m creating document archives
m printing documents without using the program that created them (at a

service bureau, for example)

m diagnosing printing problems

You may also want to print an encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file. You can use
EPS files to export single pages from one program to another. EPS files can
include any combination of text, graphics, and images, but they do not
describe complete documents. For example, by saving an EPS file, you can
insert a page of a document created with one program as an illustration in a
document created by another program.
