PS Viewer API for Android - Render PostScript in Your App

PS files contain PostScript, the page description language Adobe introduced in 1984 and used throughout professional printing for decades. Print shops, publishers and archives still exchange PS files, but a mobile device has no interpreter for them, so a PS attachment on Android cannot be opened without help.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud interprets the file on the server and returns finished pages. Through the REST API a PS document becomes HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG, and page navigation, zoom and thumbnails are available to the client. Rendering selected pages keeps large print jobs quick to preview.

The Android SDK for Java wraps these calls for mobile projects. It installs from Maven or Gradle, the code samples show a working viewer flow, and password-protected documents are handled by the same API - one of more than 180 formats it accepts.

Without writing any code, a PS file becomes readable in any browser via the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app. Developers can test every endpoint from the API Explorer, and the free trial covers a first integration.
