We found GhostScript through a forum suggestion and it is not getting the recognition it deserves. It eliminated our text issue and adds another level of compatibility to all our PDF designs now. **What do you dislike about Ghostscript?** Just that it took a long time to find a solution like Ghostscript. More people need to know about this! **What problems is Ghostscript solving and how is that benefiting you?** Text compatibility/quality issues between PDFs and PDF plug-in programs (like flipbuilder) who have limited settings for PDF quality ## Ghostscript Discussions - [What is Ghostscript used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-ghostscript-used-for) - [View Ghostscript pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/ghostscript/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-09-29+23%3A25%3A14+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f3d371f7-9e0d-40a2-a0c5-3e36b696fe60&secure%5Btoken%5D=803b3e19cd9efc316cdcc61aed98ceedad90a006b21ba8cb2c9cf4e25c640f4a&format=llm_user) ## Ghostscript Features **Additional Functionality** - Third-Party Integrations - To-Do List - @mentions - Single Sign On - File Management - Activity Dashboard - Drag & Drop - Alerts/Notifications - Prioritization - Access Controls/Permissions - Screen Sharing - Content Management - Brainstorming - AI Copilot - File Transfer - Calendar Management - Status Tracking - Real-Time Notifications - Version Control - Task Management - Activity Tracking - Real Time Editing - Communication Management - Chat/Messaging - Tagging - Generative AI - Assignment Management - Task Scheduling - Project Management - Collaboration Tools - Workflow Management - Secure Data Storage - File Sharing - Document Storage - Task Progress Tracking - Discussions/Forums - Commenting/Notes - Reporting & Statistics - Contact Management - Video Conferencing - Progress Tracking - Mobile Access - API - Document Management - Customizable Branding **Format** - File Type - Conversion - Batch Conversion **Edit** - Edit - Annotate - Inspection **Data** - Export - Metadata - Protect **Operating System** - PC Operating System - Mac Operating System - Linux Operating System ## Top Ghostscript Alternatives - [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-acrobat-reader/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,733 reviews) - [FineReader PDF for Windows and Mac](https://www.g2.com/products/finereader-pdf-for-windows-and-mac/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (293 reviews) - [Adobe Reader Mobile](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-reader-mobile/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (272 reviews)
