Ghostscript 8.61 (Default branch)
Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.

Several bugs were fixed. The default device on Unix-oriented builds was changed again to the x11alpha device, which provides antialiasing for display.Image

eps2eps

PS2PS(1)							 Ghostscript Tools							  PS2PS(1)

NAME

       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

SYNOPSIS

       ps2ps [ options ] input.ps output.ps
       eps2eps [ options ] input.eps output.eps

DESCRIPTION

       ps2ps uses gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm) file "input.ps" to simpler, normalized and (usually) faster PostScript in "output.ps".  Normally
       the output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2 or Level 3 constructs, but the -dLanguageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1.

       eps2eps performs the equivalent optimization for Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.

       Both accept any general Ghostscript command line options, and respectively options specific to the pswrite and epswrite devices.

FILES

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

BUGS

       The pswrite device used by both ps2ps and eps2eps produces much lower level output than is desirable. Use with caution.
