how could i convert a pcgeos document (pc-write ) to pdf or doc or another current editor reader?

[publicocean0]

Hi i have a old document written in pcgeos . It is a old book written by me. It would be important for me to find a way to convert it in pdf or doc .... Eventually i could to print and then to convert using a image-to-text converter. I m available to any suggestions :)

How old is old ? Is this a Geoworks Ensemble 1.x document ? Then you have to convert it first with:

Yes, to generate a PDF, you can print using a Postscript driver to a virtual LPT port which is redirected to Postscript to PDF converter tool. If possible, use the fixed EPS library from Grossibaer.

Ie., have a look at:

You may use a translator as this forum is mostly in German. Maybe you put your question directly in that forum. Most people there understand English.

If you can share your book, I could convert it to PDF.

hi I would be very happy if you can help me . I can share my old book (regarding math theories). The book year is about 1998 when i was a teennager. math.zip. I m praying you can convert it.

So, your documents are from GeoWrite 1.x. I've upgraded them with the mentioned tool to 2.x. math-2x.zip

Then I printed them to PDF, but unfortunately, the ALGEBRA stops on page 24. No matter what I do. math-pdf-first-try.zip

Therefor, I opened a new thread on the German forum: http://geos-infobase.de/WBB_317/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=2607

Hopefully, someone is able to convert the ALEGRO completely.

Over the forum of GEOS-Infobase, Sebi (another user) has done some experiments with converting your document. He got the same problem with page 24 and 26, but has uploaded some of his work. So, please visit this link and checkout the files there too: http://geos-infobase.de/WBB_317/index.php?page=Thread&postID=15264#post15264

I've received another try from a user over the forum on GEOS-Infobase:

PS.zip

Hopefully, this is of any use for you. I'll think, we can close the issue after that.

I thank you again for your help in this challenge. Without you i was with any possibility to recover my old book. Yes you can close this issue. It is a good gift for me. (in few days it is my birthday ) :)
