- NAME
- pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript
- converter (version 0.90)
-
- 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.
-
- -q Don't print any messages or errors.
-
- -h Print usage information. (-help is equivalent.)
