       pdftops  -  Portable  Document  Format (PDF) to PostScript
       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.

2 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.)

2 BUGS

       This  is  a beta release of pdftops, and there are still a
       bunch of PDF features which I have yet to implement.
