PS2PDF(1) Ghostscript PS2PDF(1) NAME ps2pdf - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript ps2pdf12 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3-and-later compati ble) using ghostscript ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later compati ble) using ghostscript SYNOPSIS ps2pdf [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-] ps2pdf12 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-] ps2pdf13 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-] DESCRIPTION The ps2pdf scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the functionality (but not the user interface) of Adobes Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) prod uct: they convert PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The three scripts differ as follows: - ps2pdf12 will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible). - ps2pdf13 will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible). - ps2pdf per se currently produces PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and- later compatible). However, this may change in the future. If you care about the compatibility level of the output, use ps2pdf12 or ps2pdf13, or use the -dCompatibility=1.x switch in the command line. There are some limitations in ps2pdfs conversion. See the HTML docu mentation for more information. OPTIONS The ps2pdf scripts use the same options as gs(1).
