Strangelove for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Pygmy Software:

  • In effect: converts Word documents to Adobe PDF files
  • In composition: a Cocoa front-end for the utilities antiword and ghostscript based on DOCtor
DOCtor is a utility by Stone Design that provides a front-end for an excellent utility called antiword that can only be described as "nifty". In effect, DOCtor allows you to make PostScript files from Word documents with the help of antiword, but needs another product called PStill (which costs money) to turn those PostScript files into the more compatible PDF format.

Enter Strangelove. Strangelove is an adaptation of DOCtor that depends on another (free) utility, ghostscript, instead of PStill. The end result is a utility that can take pesky Word documents and, with the right software installed, turn them directly into PDF files, readable by Mac OS X's Preview utility.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed readme typos
  • Added note about browsing to readme
  • Slightly updated icon
  • A little bit better at finding ghostscript and antiword (arbitrary guesses) - thanks, Alex and Jonas!
  • Made tool-not-found dialog text clearer
