NAME
pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer
SYNOPSIS
pdfopt [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf
DESCRIPTION
pdfopt uses gs(1) to convert the Adobe Portable Document
Format (PDF) file "input.pdf" to a so-called optimized form
in "output.pdf". Optimization puts the elements of the file
into a more linear order and adds "hint" pointers, allowing
Adobe's Acrobat(TM) products to display individual pages of
the file more quickly when accessing the file through a net-
work.
Note: input.pdf and output.pdf must not be the same. If
they are, the file will probably be destroyed. pdfopt cur-
rently does not check for this.
FILES
Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documenta-
tion on your system, from which you can get more details.
