ps2pdf - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript
ps2pdf12 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible) using ghostscript
ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible) using ghostscript
!!SYNOPSIS


__ps2pdf__ [[options...] (input.[[e]ps|-)
[[output.pdf|-]__
ps2pdf12__ [[options...] (input.[[e]ps|-)
[[output.pdf|-]__
ps2pdf13__ [[options...] (input.[[e]ps|-)
[[output.pdf|-]
!!DESCRIPTION


The __ps2pdf__ scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the
functionality (but not the user interface) of Adobe's
Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) product: they convert PostScript
files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.


The three scripts differ as follows:


-


__ps2pdf12__ will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat
3-and-later compatible).


-


__ps2pdf13__ will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat
4-and-later compatible).


-


__ps2pdf__ per se currently produces PDF 1.2 output
(Acrobat 3-and-later compatible). However, this may change
in the future. If you care about the compatibility level of
the output, use __ps2pdf12__ or __ps2pdf13__, or use
the __-dCompatibility=1.x__ switch in the command
line.


There are some limitations in __ps2pdf__'s conversion.
See the HTML documentation for more
information.
