NAME
fixps - sanitize PostScript files
SYNOPSIS
fixps [OPTIONS] FILE
DESCRIPTION
Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postpro-
cessing.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
display version information and exit
-q, --quiet
don't print informational messages
-o, --output=FILE
save result in FILE. If FILE is `-', send to stdout
-f, --force
force full rewrite by ghostscript
-n, --no-fix
don't fix the FILE, but still honor `-o'
-c, --check, --dry-run
don't perform any action
Fixes:
- Remove junk before and after PostScript content - Use
only Unix end of lines (\n) - Remove empty lines - Fix
Apple prologue (fixmacps) - Fix FrameMaker prologue
(fixfmps) - Fix CorelDraw prologue (fixnt) - Fix Win-
dows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix Windows 95 pro-
logue - Ensure there is a `%%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup'
section - Removes Canvas' extraneaous `%%EndDocument:'
comments - Split too long lines
If the FILE seems really in a bad state, ghostscript may be
used to perform a full rewrite. The output might then be
significantly bigger, but much safer.
