<div>I’ve just upgraded my OS to Sonoma 14.1.1 and have discovered (after being unable to compile files with the TeX + dvi + distiller option) that Apple support for postscript has disappeared in Sonoma. A consequence of this is that pstopdf is not found in
/usr/bin/ and therefore the simpdftex script doesn’t work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Example output is here:</div>

<div>I have tried putting pstopdf into /usr/local/bin but this doesn’t work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m puzzled because the 2023 MacTeX update says it is for Sonoma, so I guess I can’t be the only person to have this problem, but I can’t (yet) find a solution on the web. I have installed the most recent TeX Live version, and updated all the packages,
but that doesn’t seem to cure it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I use a lot of .ps and .eps files in making slides for teaching, so some solution/workaround would be greatly appreciated. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should a script that uses pstopdf as a default should be updated? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks for any help you can give. </div>
