.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
16 |
The
|
|
|
17 |
.B ps2pdf
|
|
|
18 |
scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the functionality (but not the
|
|
|
19 |
user interface) of Adobe's Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) product: they
|
|
|
20 |
convert PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
|
|
|
21 |

|
|
|

The three scripts differ as follows:
|
|
|
23 |
.IP -
|
|
|
24 |
.B ps2pdf12
|
|
|
25 |
will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible).
|
|
|
26 |
.IP -
|
|
|
27 |
.B ps2pdf13
|
|
|
28 |
will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible).
|
|
|
29 |
.IP -
|
|
|
30 |
.B ps2pdf
|
|
|
31 |
per se currently produces PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later
|
|
|
32 |
compatible). However, this may change in the future. If you care about
|
|
|
33 |
the compatibility level of the output, use
|
|
|
34 |
.B ps2pdf12
|
|
|
35 |
or
|
|
|
36 |
.BR ps2pdf13 ,
|
|
|
37 |
or use the
|
|
|
38 |
.B \-dCompatibility=1.x
|
|
|
39 |
switch in the command line.
