1. Download a free software tool called "The GIMP".   http://www.gimp.org/
2. It can import postscript files and save them as Bitmaps (with any resolution).  We usually output to a DPI like 1200 or higher.
3. This may create a large bitmap file, however ACE2009 has the ability to quickly load "ANY SIZE" bitmaps and convert them to gerber.



Note: Postscript file conversions can be tricky (like DXF conversions -- because there are a 100 different ways to draw geometries), so always make sure that you carefully review the postscript translation results in the ACE Viewer.
