That's why DOSPDF or PSVIEW exist.

You could also try this little batch file:

@echo off
if "%1"=="#self" goto RUN
command.com /E:4096 /C %0 #self %1 %2
exit

:RUN
shift
if not exist %1.ps goto usage

rem Convert PS to PCX
set gspath=c:\gs
echo -I%gspath%;%gspath%\fonts>_.at
echo -sDEVICE=pcx256>>_.at
echo -sOutputFile=%TEMP%\page%%04d.pcx>>_.at
echo -r200>>_.at
echo -dNOPAUSE>>_.at
set TR=%2
if "%TR%"=="" set TR=0
%gspath%\gs.exe -q @_.at -c "<< /Orientation %TR% >> setpagedevice" -f%1.ps -c quit
del _.at

:show
lxpic.com %TEMP%\page????.pcx /12-
goto end

:usage
echo Syntax: %0 psfile [0..3] (w/o extension!)

:end

Taken from this old Usenet thread (in German): FYI: PDF-Dateien betrachten
