- converter
-
- pdftops [options] [PDF-file [PS-file]]
-
- Pdftops converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to
- PostScript so they can be printed.
-
- Pdftops reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a
- PostScript file, PS-file. If PS-file is not specified,
- pdftops converts file.pdf to file.ps. If PS-file is '-',
- the PostScript is sent to stdout.
-
- The generated PostScript is Level 2. This means it will
- not work on old printers which only support Level 1
- PostScript.
-
- 2 OPTIONS
-
- -fnumber
- Specifies the first page to print.
-
- -lnumber
- Specifies the last page to print.
-
- -level1
- Generate Level 1 PostScript. The resulting
- PostScript files will be significantly larger (if
- they contain images), but will print on Level 1
- printers. This also converts all images to black
- and white.
-
- -noemb By default, any Type 1 fonts which are embedded in
- the PDF file are copied into the PostScript file.
- This option causes pdftops to substitute base fonts
- instead. Embedded fonts make PostScript files
- larger, but may be necessary for readable output.
-
- -h Print usage information. (-help is equivalent.)
-
- 2 BUGS
-
- This is a beta release of pdftops, and there are still a
- bunch of PDF features which I have yet to implement.
