pdftops (1)
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 supports 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.)
BUGS
No support for TrueType and Type 3 fonts.
