hello to all,
try to remove white spaces from my ps.

Search ghostscript syntax but without luck.

Then try 'convert input.ps output.pdf ' and with surprise notice that text is mantained !

Is there any way tro trim borders maintain text as pure text ?

Thank you all for your time,

m.

I am not an expert on vector formats. So I don't know if that is possible without going through some image format. Best notes are at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#vector

But you can try using a crop box on your pdf. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#pdf

ImageMagick is a raster image processor. You can not use it to modify an image but keep its vector form. That is text remains text in the image file format.

See the previous given links which will have references to converted for vector formats. These will try to preserve text as text.
