ps2ps (1)

Name

ps2ps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

Synopsis

ps2ps [ options ] input output.ps
eps2eps [ options ] input output.eps

Description

PS2PS(1)                       Ghostscript Tools                      PS2PS(1)



NAME
       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

SYNOPSIS
       ps2ps [ options ] input output.ps
       eps2eps [ options ] input output.eps

DESCRIPTION
       ps2ps  uses  gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm) or PDF(tm) file "input" to
       simpler, normalized and (usually)  faster  PostScript  in  "output.ps".
       The output is level 2 DSC 3.0 conforming PostScript.

       eps2eps  performs  the  equivalent  optimization, creating Encapsulated
       PostScript (EPS) files. NB, despite the name, the input need not be  an
       EPS file, PostScript or indeed PDF files are equally acceptable.

       Both  accept  any general Ghostscript command line options, and options
       specific to the ps2write and eps2write devices.

FILES
       Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation  on  your
       system, from which you can get more details.
