Page Number to Convert:

Determine which page of the Postscript file will be converted.  ACE can only convert 1 page at a time, for multiple paged Postscript files. (Page 1 is the default)

Spline/Arc Precision:

The maximum error allowed when computing points on curve.  This feature allows designs with large and small curves to equally maintain high-resolution and quality.  The smaller the Spline Deviation the more accurate your final curves will become - however exported file sizes may become larger.

Map Layers/Colors:

Determine how to associate postscript objects to a layer.

Merge All to a Single Layer: Place all postscript objects onto a single layer.

Separate Layer per each Color: This setting creates a new layer for each object color in the postscript file.

Ghostscript Additional Options:

Request additional commands that will be sent directly to the GhostScript  interpreter.

Convert Paths To

Determine how to process Path objects:

Auto-Detect: Use the same path types found in the Postscript/PDF.

Polygon: Output all paths as polygons.

Rounded: Force all paths to be rounded. Sometimes when using Postscript/PDF's for artwork you'll discover that the path quality is not very good (especially for PCB's), so a rounded path produces better results.

Truncate: Output all paths as truncated paths (square path with no end cap).

Extended: Output all paths as extended paths (square path with 1/2 width end cap).

Fill Mode

Determine how to fill objects.

Auto-Detect: In most Postscript drawings objects drawn with a "white" color represent a hole (or transparency).  This setting will De-Embed all postscript objects that are the color "white" from all remaining objects.

De-Embed:  Use built-in De-Embed Algorithm to determine what is transparent.

Fill All: Fill all objects and ignore transparency.

No Fill: When possible, do not fill any objects.

Text Output

Determine how to process Text objects.

None: Ignore Text

Polygon: Output Text as Polygons (default).

Polygon Adjustable: Output Text as Polygons with Adjustable spacing.

Use Default Font: Substitute Postscript font with an ACE font.  This may be necessary when the font quality from Ghostscript is poor.

Default ACE Font

ACE font to use when Text Output is set to "Use Default Font".

Flash Round and Rect Shapes:

This option will detect circles & rectangular shapes and convert them to gerber flashes. Very useful when exporting to Gerber

Select Ghostscript DLL/EXE

To import Postscript / PDF requires that Ghostscript is installed.  You can choose which Ghostscript version to use during import, and you may also use the file selector '...' to manually assign  a specific version of Ghostscript.
