PostScript

PostScript is an interpreted, stack-based Programming Language. Its primary application is to describe the appearance of text, graphics, and images on printed or displayed pages. A program in PostScript can communicate a document description from a composition system to a printing system in a device-independent way. PostScript is an unusually powerful printer language because it is a full programming language, rather than a series of low-level escape sequences. The latest version of PostScript, version 3, fully integrates PDF.
