Do you have an AI, a CDR or some other type of vector file that you would like to convert to a different vector format? Perhaps you have CAD vector format files, such as DWG, DXF, PLT or Windows Metafiles: EMF/WMF and you would like to convert them to another accessible vector formats such as SVG or PDF? In any situations above, reaConverter allows you to process this operation fast and easy through its vector to vector direct conversion feature.

How does it work?

Download and Install reaConverter from www.reaconverter.com

Start reaConverter and load all the desired vector files into reaConverter from the Add files button, or use the handy drag-and-drop tool.

Direct conversion from vector to vector allows you to quickly change to format of your vector files without editing the image. Only in case you opt for converting from vector to raster format, you can also change the loading settings of the input files by clicking the Menu, and then Loading settings → Vector formats loading settings

A list of all vector formats supported by reaConverter is available at this address: https://www.reaconverter.com/features/formats.html

Use the Saving options tab to choose where you want to save your output files. Finally, pick a new extension for your vector files. Click on + Plus button in the lower part of the screen to find more options of vector output formats.

If you’re a non-techie and have not come across such messages before, GhostScript might seem to be part of a foreign language. So here is why I have put up a short “translation” – a quick review of what this package of software is, as well as when you might need it and how to use it with ReaConverter.

GhostScript is a bundle of software that functions as an interpreter to PostScript and PDF files. Installing it allows you to view such files and print them on printers that otherwise can’t read PostScript files.

ReaConverter allows regular PDF and AI conversions to JPG or other raster formats. Moreover, it supports vector to vector conversion of PostScript files, which can be used when you convert files such PDF, EPS, AI, PS and EPI in PostScript format. This feature implies a direct conversion, which means input files can’t be edited and the loading settings do not influence the conversion.

Though ReaConverter does not require additional software for converting PostScript files, when you want to convert such files into PostScript format, you will need to have the GhostScript driver installed. This is quick and easy to do from this location: http://www.reasoft.com/downloads/ghostscript.exe. You should download and install it from this address even if you might have installed GhostScript in the past on your computer, because ReaConverter does not work with other GhostScript drivers.

So, going back to the question from the title of this post, the answer is the following: You don’t need a Ghostscript driver installed when you use ReaConverter for converting files such as AI, EPS, PS or PDF. A designated version of GhostScript is only required if you want to save your output files in PostScript format.
