PAGES to PS: Quality Comparison
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the PostScript File format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in PostScript File are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Apple Pages input produces an excellent PostScript File output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. Apple Pages encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. PostScript File prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Document conversion from Apple Pages 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.
