NAME

6       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ps2ps [ options ] input.ps output.ps
10       eps2eps [ options ] input.eps output.eps
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ps2ps  uses gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm) file "input.ps" to simpler,
14       normalized and (usually) faster PostScript  in  "output.ps".   Normally
15       the  output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2 or Level 3 constructs,
16       but the -dLanguageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1.
17
18       eps2eps performs the equivalent  optimization  for  Encapsulated  Post‐
19       Script (EPS) files.
20
21       Both  accept  any general Ghostscript command line options, and respec‐
22       tively options specific to the pswrite and epswrite devices.

26       system, from which you can get more details.

BUGS

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