NAME

       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) prod-
       uct: 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.
