ps2pdf [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) product: 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.
