NAME
       ps2pdf, pdf2ps - convert between PostScript and PDF

SYNOPSIS
       ps2pdf [ gs-options ] [ input-file [ output-file ] ]

       pdf2ps [ -e ] [ gs-options ] [ input-file [ output-file ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Ps2pdf  and  pdf2ps convert from PostScript to PDF and back by invoking
       gs(1).  If output-file is not specified, they write to standard output.
       If  neither input-file nor output-file is not specified, they read from
       standard input and write to standard output.

       Under -e, pdf2ps emits Encapsulated Postscript (eps).

       The gs-options are passed to Ghostscript unaltered.   The  most	useful
       option  to ps2pdf is -dCompatibilityLevel=level, which sets the version
       of PDF to be written.  The default is 1.2; 1.3 and 1.4 are also	possi‐
       ble.    Similarly,   the	  most	useful	option	to  pdf2ps  is	-dLan‐
       guageLevel=level, which sets the version of PostScript to  be  written.
       The default is 2; 1 and 3 are also possible.

       Ps2pdf  produces output competitive with Adobe Distiller in most cases,
       and it accepts all the embedded PDF-generation hints  that  Adobe  Dis‐
       tiller does.

       Pdf2ps produces a PostScript file containing one large bitmap per page.
       For  a  more  direct  and  smaller  translation,	 use  Adobe  Acrobat's
       -toPostScript command-line option.

BUGS
       Gs's pdfwrite sometimes emits bad PDF at the default level 1.2.	Adding
       '-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4' should cure it.
