PostScript is a page description programming language developed by Adobe in the early 1980s that describes the layout of text, vector graphics, and images for printers and typesetting equipment. It became foundational to desktop publishing, enabling reliable rendering of complex documents across different printers, and it underlies later formats like PDF. It's primarily used today by print professionals and embedded in printer firmware and RIP (raster image processor) software.
