Just noticed that there is a somewhat recent (10/20/2005) update to AFPL Ghostscript.

The main Ghostscript page:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/

"Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:

* An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the ability to convert PostScript language files to many raster formats, view them on displays, and print them on printers that don't have PostScript language capability built in;
* An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with the same abilities;
* The ability to convert PostScript language files to PDF (with some limitations) and vice versa; and
* A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language."

Download Ghostscript 8.53:

Ghostscript can be used by a couple of different GUI frontends for converting Postscript to a PDF format:

and
