NAME

       epstopdf, repstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF

SYNOPSIS

       epstopdf [options] [epsfile]

DESCRIPTION

       epstopdf  transforms  the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile (or standard input) so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate,
       and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox.  This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs  no  crop-
       ping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct.  By default, the result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written.

       If the bounding box is not right, of course, there are problems.

OPTIONS

       --outfile=file
	      write  result  to  file.	If this option is not given, and --nogs or --filter is specified, write to standard output; otherwise, the
	      default is to construct the output file name by replacing any extension in the input file with .pdf.

       --[no]compress
	      use compression (default: on).

       --[no]debug
	      write debugging info (default: off).

       --[no]embed
	      embed fonts (default: on).

       --[no]exact
	      scan ExactBoundingBox (default: off).

       --[no]filter
	      read standard input and (unless --outfile is given) write standard output(default: off).

       --[no]gs
	      run Ghostscript (default: on).  With --nogs, output (to standard output by default) the PostScript that would normally be converted;
	      that is, the input PostScript as modified by epstopdf.

       --[no]hires
	      scan HiresBoundingBox (default: off).

       --gscmd=val
	      pipe output to val (default: [gswin32c on Windows, else gs])

       --res=dpi
	      set image resolution (default: [use gs default])

       --autorotate=val
	      set AutoRotatePages (default: None); recognized val choices: None, All, PageByPage.  For EPS files, PageByPage is equivalent to All.

       --restricted=val
	      turn  on	restricted  mode  (default: [on for repstopdf, else off]); this forbids the use of --gscmd and imposes restrictions on the
	      input and output file names according to the values of openin_any and openout_any (see the Web2c manual, http://tug.org/web2c).

       --help display help message and exit

       --version
	      display version information and exit

EXAMPLES

       Examples which produce "test.pdf":
       epstopdf test.eps
       produce postscript | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf
       produce postscript | epstopdf -f -d -o=test.pdf
       Example: look for HiresBoundingBox and produce corrected PostScript:
       epstopdf -d --nogs --hires test.ps >testcorr.ps

BUGS

       The case of "%%BoundingBox: (atend)" when input is not seekable (e.g., from a pipe) is not supported.

       Report bugs in the program or this man page to tex-k@tug.org.  When reporting bugs, please include an  input  file  and	the  command  line
       options specified, so the problem can be reproduced.
