NAME
       pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer

SYNOPSIS
       pdfopt [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf

DESCRIPTION
       pdfopt  uses  gs(1)  to	convert  the  Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file "input.pdf" to a so-called optimized form in "output.pdf".
       Optimization puts the elements of the file into a more linear order and adds "hint" pointers, allowing Adobe's Acrobat(TM) products to dis-
       play individual pages of the file more quickly when accessing the file through a network.

       Note:  input.pdf  and  output.pdf must not be the same.	If they are, the file will probably be destroyed.  pdfopt currently does not check
       for this.

FILES
       Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details.
