There is a free program that does this called ps2pdf  which is
available for linux, windows and mac os.

Ok.  We need more information.
What OS are you using?
What version of ps2pdf did you use, and where did you get it?

The next thing we need to find out is whether your ps file contained
all the infomation, or whether you lost data before you tried to
convert it to a pdf.  Do you know?  Have you seen your ps file
and are sure it is ok?

We will get this to work.

Aha!  Great to know.
Do you have a real printer there, in which case is this a printer problem?
If so, I need the name of the printer and its model number to help look up
the way to make it do landscape.

If you just want to have ps2pdf produce landscape files, that is
surprisingly difficult, for the ps2pdf that uses ghostscript to
get the work done.  ps2pdf 'guesses' what is the correct orientation
and, stupidly, there is no way to tell it 'stop guessing, I know
what I want'.  It's very bad at guessing things that don't have
text -- or enough text -- in them.

Most of the time ps2pdf is just this:

gs \
  -o output.pdf \
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
  -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
  -dHaveTrueTypes=true \
  -dEmbedAllFonts=true \
  -dSubsetFonts=false \
  -c ".setpdfwrite <</NeverEmbed [ ]>> setdistillerparams" \
  -f input.ps

where input.ps is the file you have and output.pdf is the pdf you want.
and we can make gs orient itself as you want with

    -c "<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice"

Orientation 3 is landscape.  Orientation 0 is portrait.

If this is your problem, then see if you have gs (ghostscript)
and in that case see if this horrible long command works.

You could try

ps2pdf -dEPSCrop input.ps output.pdf

that should create a PDF with the papersize derived from an EPS image.

#96896

ohhhh ok i got it
actually it's very easy the commande is :
ps2pdf -dEPSCrop image.ps

sorry but i'm new to python  my last question is how to integrate this
to python... i want that the output file must be a pdf ?

1) i created a button which i'll save my id card as "ps" file

def save():
    Canevas.update()
    Canevas.postscript(file=tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename(), colormode='color')


2) so now i want to create a button to convert this "ps" file into "pdf" ....

def convert():
   help :/

Regards

You need to run the subprocess module to run your command.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html  (for python 2)
https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/subprocess.html (for python 3)

is this enough or do you need more help getting it to work?

It's 00:41 here in Sweden, and I have an 08:00 meeting.  I am off to bed.
Perhaps somebody else can help now, otherwise I will be back
tomorrow.

I've never tried to get subprocess to run as part of a savefile dialog.
Try building a tkinter app that takes a filename argument (somepostscript
file you have lying around) and then push the button, in the same dir
makes a pdf of your ps using subprocess.

If that works, then see about getting save to run that subprocess as
part of the save process.  I am very curious about whether that can
be done -- but first check that your subprocess is working, period.
The wretched thing is slightly different between windows and linux,
and even between different linuxes, so needing to fiddle a bit here is
normal (and frustrating).

So right now I cannot tell if your problem is 'save doesn't like
it like that' or 'your subprocess isn't working'.

But nothing in Tkinter likes 'Canevas' -- (which is great French
but rotten English) you must have written Canvas in your code.

Paste the real thing in next time, ok?

Sorry I am off now,
Laura

	At this point one begins to wonder if, since PDF is the desired end
product, it might not be better to redo the effort targeting the use of
ReportLab rather than the round-about PS to PDF conversion?

well one more question :/

i tried this

def save():
     Canevas.update()
     Canevas.postscript(file=tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename(),
colormode='color')
     subprocess.call(["ps2pdf", "-dEPSCrop", "test.ps", "test.pdf"])


i got the ps file but i didn't get the pdf file :/

Check that subprocess.call() returns zero, or use subprocess.check_output()
instead. Also, if this is a GUI program and you have no easy way to check
what is written to stdout or stderr, try:

    p = subprocess.Popen(["ps2pdf", "-dEPSCrop", "test.ps", "test.pdf"],
                         stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    out, err = p.communicate()
    if p.returncode != 0:
        raise RuntimeError(err)

Maybe ps2pdf is not installed? I think it doesn't come with the Mac. You 
need to get it via fink, homebrew, macports or an official ghostscript 
binary. The same holds true for convert, which is a tool from ImageMagick.

Yet another option would be to wrap the pdf4tcl library:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf4tcl/

It can create PDF from a canvas without an external dependency. The Tcl 
code for it looks like this:

> package require pdf4tcl
> set size [list [winfo width $win] [winfo height $win]]
> set pdf [pdf4tcl::new %AUTO% -paper $size -compress false]
> $pdf canvas $win
> $pdf write -file $fn
> $pdf destroy

In principle, you could run this code via Tkinter.eval()
You would need to set "win" to your canvas path and "fn" to the file 
name path.

Yet another option would be to use a Python package like Reportlab to 
create the PDFs, which requires you to reimplement the drawing code.

Try putting the entire path to ps2pdf in the subprocess call, something like:
/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf

Where does the .ps file come from?  tkinter canvas to .ps?  If so, I 
suggest not to do that.  Get reportlab or another python pdf generator 
(search pypi.python.org for 'pdf' or web for 'python generate pdf'.)
