NAME

       dvipdfm - produce PDF files directly from DVI files

SYNOPSIS

       dvipdfm [options] file[.dvi]

DESCRIPTION

       In  TeX	Live,  dvipdfm is another incarnation of dvipdfmx rather than a separate program.  Compatibility is attempted as best as possible.
       (The change was made due to duplicated security and configuration issues arising repeatedly.)  Please report problems with this dvipdfm	to
       the dvipdfmx maintainers at dvipdfmx (at) ktug.or.kr.

       The  program dvipdfm generates a PDF file from a DVI file.  DVI files are the output format produced by TeX.  Output from groff can be con-
       verted to DVI format using grodvi.

       The program dvipdfm recognizes several commonly used special commands, which are extensions to the DVI format.	 Specifically,	it  under-
       stands  color specials, papersize specials, tpic specials (which allow it to be used with pic), hypertex specials, and some PostScript spe-
       cials.  These extensions allow documents to contain color, figures, and hyperlinks.  The program tries to mimic the behavior  of  dvips	so
       that  many  macro  packages  produced for use with dvips will work with dvipdfm.  Dvipdfm understands its own specific special commands to
       allow access to PDF features such as annotations and bookmarks.

       For issues related to bounding boxes (and hence image sizes), please see extractbb(1).

OPTIONS

       -c   Ignore color specials.  The -c toggles a flag that disables color special processing.  Unless changed  in  the  configuration  file,
	    that  flag is off, and color specials are interpreted normally.  The -c option may be used to produce a black and white document from
	    a document containing color TeX special commands.

       -d   Remove thumbnail images after including them.  (See the -t option for more information.)

       -e   Toggle partial font embedding flag.  If partial font embedding is off, embedded fonts are fully embedded.  The default, if not changed
	    in the configuration file, is to embed only those glyphs actually used in the document.

       -f map_file
	    Set the name of the font map file to map_file.  The format of the font map file is documented in the Dvipdfm User's Manual.

       -l   Select landscape mode.  In other words, exchange the x and y dimensions of the paper.

       -m  mag
	    Magnify the input document by mag.

       -o  name
	    Generate PDF output file having the name name.  By default, the name of the output file is file.pdf.

       -p  paper
	    Select the papersize by name (e.g., letter, legal, ledger, tabloid, a3, a4, or a5 )

       -r  size
	    Set  resolution of bitmapped fonts to size dots per inch.  Bitmapped fonts are generated by the Kpathsea library, which uses Metafont.
	    Bitmapped fonts are included as type 3 fonts in the PDF output file.

       -s  page_specifications
	    Select the pages of the DVI file to be converted.  The page_specifications consists of a comma separated list of page_ranges:

	    page_specifications := page_specification[,page_specifications]

	    where

	    page_specification := single_page|page_range

	    page_range := [first_page]-[last_page]

	    An empty first_page is implied to be the first page of the DVI file.  An empty last_page is treated as the last page of the DVI file.

	    Examples:

	    -s 1,3,5
		 includes pages 1, 3, and 5;

	    -s - includes all pages;

	    -s -,-
		 includes two copies of all pages in the DVI file; and

	    -s 1-10
		 includes the first ten pages of the DVI file.

       -t   Search for thumbnail images of each page in the directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable.   The  thumbnail  images  must	be
	    named  in a specific format.  They must have the same base name as the DVI file and they must have the page number as the extension to
	    the file name.  Dvipdfm does not generate the thumbnails itself, but it is distributed with a wrapper program named dvipdft that  does
	    so.

       -v   Increase verbosity.  Results of the -v option are cumulative (e.g., -vv ) increases the verbosity by two increments.

       -x x_offset
	    Set  the  left  margin  to x_offset.  The default left margin is 1.0in.  The dimension may be specified in any units understood by TeX
	    (e.g., bpt, pt, in, cm )

       -y y_offset
	    Set the top margin to y_offset.  The default top margin is 1.0in.  The dimension may be specified  in  any	units  understood  by  TeX
	    (e.g., bpt, pt, in, cm )

       -z compression_level
	    Set the compression level to compression_level.  Compressions levels range from 0 (no compression) to 9 (maximum compression) and cor-
	    respond to the values understood by zlib.

IMAGE BOUNDING BOXES

       When including images with dvipdfm, their bounding boxes should be generated by running ebb, or extractbb -m.  The result will be in an .bb
       file.

       When  including	images	with dvipdfmx, their bounding boxes should be generated by running extractbb.  The result will be in an .xbb file;
       the xbb information is the same as for the PDF format.

ENVIRONMENT

       Dvipdfm uses the kpathsea library for locating the files that it opens.	Hence,	the  environment  variables  documented  in  the  Kpathsea
       library documentation influence dvipdfm.

       Dvipdfm also reads the following environment variables:

       TMP  The directory to search for thumbnail images of each page.

FILES

       The  precise  location of the following files is determined by the Kpathsea library configuration.  The location may be determined by using
       kpsewhich, e.g.,
       kpsewhich -progname=dvipdfm -format='other text files' config

       config
	    Startup options

       t1fonts.map
	    The default font map file (this name may be changed in the config file).

       *.tfm
	    TeX font metrics

       *.vf TeX virtual font files

       *.pfb
	    PostScript Type 1 font files

       texmf.cnf
	    The Kpathsea library configuration file.  The location of this file may be found by typing
	    kpsewhich texmf.cnf
