ps2pdf converts the PostScript file input.ps to the Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) in output.pdf. ps2pdf uses
gs(1). See /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/M.N/doc/use.doc for
more details, where M.N is the Ghostscript version number.
Currently ps2pdf does a reasonable job on filled/stroked
graphics, on bitmap images, and on text in the 14 built-in
PDF fonts in the intersection of Windows and ISO Latin-1
encodings. It converts all other text in the PostScript
file to bitmaps in the PDF file (although it does only
write the bitmap for each character once per page, and
only on pages where the character is actually used). It
does not compress the output at all, except for character
bitmaps: it can't use LZW because of Unisys' patent
claims, and it doesn't yet use other compression methods
for images.
