Evidently a bundled plug-in at one point incorporated adware. See:

message: Can Ghostscript export PDF files to other file formats?--69.87.193.22 13:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a very broad question, but in general the answer is yes. If you have command-line Ghostscript, you can see how by executing devicenames ==; some of the export drivers are for printers (declj250, I'm guessing), but there are image-format drivers such as tiffpack, bmpmono, xcf, pnm, pnmraw, jpeggray, pngmono and a large list of others. The list is implicitly larger than you think, because one can export to PNM or something like it and encode to any format that ImageMagick supports. (For instance.) There's a separate tool, pstoedit, to generate vector formats if you need that. If you're asking if it can export a PDF to something like a Word document, that would be like unbaking a cookie. There are tools to do so, but they're pretty complicated, and the results aren't exactly what went into the PDF in the first place. Ghostscript does not, to my knowledge, Does that answer your question? grendel|khan 14:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Export formats? 

message: There is much confusion about the different versions.  The current version is 8.60.  Which works fine with PDFCreator.  But many interesting other programs such as GSView, IrfanView, and pstoedit seem to insist on an AFPL version of gs, which is now getting obsolete, it seems.  What are the best ways to deal with this?  Is it possible to have more than one version installed at once?  Easy?  What are the potential problems, and solutions? -69.87.203.2 01:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, even though the instructions for GSView call for AFPL gs, the current non-AFPL 8.60 seems to work OK. -69.87.203.2 02:19, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  AFPL 

message: Can someone please indicate where any information is available on installing Ghostscript?  I have downloaded many hundreds of Ghostscript files, but no .exe files and nothing entitled 'setup' are among them.  This article would be a good place to direct Wikipedia readers to information about this software if it is a significant piece of code.  Some clarification of the terms 'Ghostscript', 'Ghostview', 'Ghostgum' and 'Gsview' would also be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.45.137 (talk) 14:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
