NAME

6       pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pdfopt [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pdfopt  uses  gs(1) to convert the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
13       file "input.pdf" to a so-called optimized form in "output.pdf".   Opti‐
14       mization  puts  the  elements  of the file into a more linear order and
15       adds "hint" pointers, allowing Adobe's Acrobat(TM) products to  display
16       individual  pages  of  the  file  more  quickly when accessing the file
17       through a network.
18
19       Note: input.pdf and output.pdf must not be the same.  If they are,  the
20       file will probably be destroyed. pdfopt checks for this.
