NAME
pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript converter
(version 0.5)
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.
The generated PostScript is Level 2. This means it will not work on
old printers which only support Level 1 PostScript.

BUGS
This is a beta release of pdftops, and there are still a bunch of PDF
features which I have yet to implement.
At this point, the biggest problem is that embedded fonts are not
handled properly.
