NAME
pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript
converter (version 0.80)
SYNOPSIS
pdftops [options] [PDF-file [PS-file]]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-f number
Specifies the first page to print.
-l number
Specifies the last page to print.
-paperw size
Set the paper width, in points.
-paperh size
Set the paper height, in points.
-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. The default behavior is to generate
Level 2 PostScript. In particular, Level 2 sup-
ports color images and image compression.
-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.
-form Generate a PostScript form which can be imported by
software that understands forms. Only one page is
converted (since forms cannot contain multiple
pages) and the -l option is ignored. The -level1
option cannot be used with -form.
-h Print usage information. (-help is equivalent.)
BUGS
This is a beta release of pdftops, and there are still a
