ODG vs PS: Why Convert?

There are strong reasons to convert ODG to PS:

Legacy system support: PostScript File is backward-compatible with older systems that may not support newer or proprietary formats like OpenDocument Drawing.

Future-proofing: PostScript File has decades of proven stability and will remain supported for years to come.

Eco-friendly: Smaller PostScript File files mean less bandwidth consumption and lower energy usage during file transfers — a small but meaningful environmental benefit.

Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify PostScript File as the required delivery format for document content.

Cloud storage efficiency: PostScript File's efficient encoding makes archival storage practical — important for large collections.

How PS Handles ODG Data

OpenDocument Drawing encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. PostScript File prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently. OpenDocument Drawing's known limitation — limited adoption compared to Adobe Illustrator formats — is resolved when converting to PostScript File, which offers precise device-independent print rendering with vector graphics. The OpenDocument Drawing source uses lossless encoding. The PostScript File output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient.

Document conversion from OpenDocument Drawing to PostScript File involves translating formatting, layout, fonts, and embedded content between document models. Complex formatting like tables, headers, footers, and page breaks are mapped as accurately as possible. Some format-specific features (macros, track changes, advanced styles) may not have direct equivalents in the target format.
