pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript converter
|
|
|
|
pdftops [options] [PDF-file [PS-file]]
|
|
|
|
Pdftops converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to PostScript so
|
|
they can be printed.
|
|
|
|
Pdftops reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a PostScript file, PS-
|
|
file. If PS-file is not specified, pdftops converts file.pdf to
|
|
file.ps (or file.eps with the -eps option). If PS-file is '-', the
|
|
PostScript is sent to stdout.

2 ONFIGURATION_FIL
|
|
|
|
Pdftops reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
|
|
the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
|
|
looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
|
(but this location can be changed when pdftops is built). See the
|
|
xpdfrc(5) man page for details.

2 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Many of the following options can be set with configuration file com-
|
|
mands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
|
|
corresponding command line option.
|
|
|
|
-f number
|
|
Specifies the first page to print.
|
|
|
|
-l number
|
|
Specifies the last page to print.
|
|
|
|
-level1
|
|
Generate Level 1 PostScript. The resulting PostScript files
|
|
will be significantly larger (if they contain images), but will
|
|
print on Level 1 printers. This also converts all images to
|
|
black and white. No more than one of the PostScript level
|
|
options (-level1, -level1sep, -level2, -level2sep, -level3,
|
|
-level3Sep) may be given. [config file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-level1sep
|
|
Generate Level 1 separable PostScript. All colors are converted
|
|
to CMYK. Images are written with separate stream data for the
|
|
four components. [config file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-level2
|
|
Generate Level 2 PostScript. Level 2 supports color images and
|
|
image compression. This is the default setting. [config file:
|
|
psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-level2sep
|
|
Generate Level 2 separable PostScript. All colors are converted
|
|
to CMYK. The PostScript separation convention operators are
|
|
used to handle custom (spot) colors. [config file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-level3
|
|
Generate Level 3 PostScript. This enables all Level 2 features
|
|
plus CID font embedding and masked image generation. [config
|
|
file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-level3Sep
|
|
Generate Level 3 separable PostScript. The separation handling
|
|
is the same as for -level2Sep. [config file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-eps Generate an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file. An EPS file
|
|
contains a single image, so if you use this option with a multi-
|
|
page PDF file, you must use -f and -l to specify a single page.
|
|
No more than one of the mode options (-eps, -form) may be given.
|
|
|
|
-form Generate a PostScript form which can be imported by software
|
|
that understands forms. A form contains a single page, so if
|
|
you use this option with a multi-page PDF file, you must use -f
|
|
and -l to specify a single page. The -level1 option cannot be
|
|
used with -form.
|
|
|
|
-opi Generate OPI comments for all images and forms which have OPI
|
|
information. (This option is only available if pdftops was com-
|
|
piled with OPI support.) [config file: psOPI]
|
|
|
|
-noembt1
|
|
By default, any Type 1 fonts which are embedded in the PDF file
|
|
are copied into the PostScript file. This option causes pdftops
|
|
to substitute base fonts instead. Embedded fonts make Post-
|
|
Script files larger, but may be necessary for readable output.
|
|
[config file: psEmbedType1Fonts]
|
|
|
|
-noembtt
|
|
By default, any TrueType fonts which are embedded in the PDF
|
|
file are copied into the PostScript file. This option causes
|
|
pdftops to substitute base fonts instead. Embedded fonts make
|
|
PostScript files larger, but may be necessary for readable out-
|
|
put. Also, some PostScript interpreters do not have TrueType
|
|
rasterizers. [config file: psEmbedTrueTypeFonts]
|
|
|
|
-noembcidps
|
|
By default, any CID PostScript fonts which are embedded in the
|
|
PDF file are copied into the PostScript file. This option dis-
|
|
ables that embedding. No attempt is made to substitute for non-
|
|
embedded CID PostScript fonts. [config file: psEmbedCID-
|
|
PostScriptFonts]
|
|
|
|
-noembcidtt
|
|
By default, any CID TrueType fonts which are embedded in the PDF
|
|
file are copied into the PostScript file. This option disables
|
|
that embedding. No attempt is made to substitute for non-embed-
|
|
ded CID TrueType fonts. [config file: psEmbedCIDTrueTypeFonts]
|
|
|
|
-preload
|
|
Convert PDF forms to PS procedures, and preload image data.
|
|
This uses more memory in the PostScript interpreter, but gener-
|
|
ates significantly smaller PS files in situations where, e.g.,
|
|
the same image is drawn on every page of a long document.
|
|
|
|
-paper size
|
|
Set the paper size to one of "letter", "legal", "A4", or "A3".
|
|
This can also be set to "match", which will set the paper size
|
|
to match the size specified in the PDF file. [config file:
|
|
psPaperSize]
|
|
|
|
-paperw size
|
|
Set the paper width, in points. [config file: psPaperSize]
|
|
|
|
-paperh size
|
|
Set the paper height, in points. [config file: psPaperSize]
|
|
|
|
-nocrop
|
|
By default, output is cropped to the CropBox specified in the
|
|
PDF file. This option disables cropping. [config file: psCrop]
|
|
|
|
-expand
|
|
Expand PDF pages smaller than the paper to fill the paper. By
|
|
default, these pages are not scaled. [config file: psExpandS-
|
|
maller]
|
|
|
|
-noshrink
|
|
Don't scale PDF pages which are larger than the paper. By
|
|
default, pages larger than the paper are shrunk to fit. [config
|
|
file: psShrinkLarger]
|
|
|
|
-nocenter
|
|
By default, PDF pages smaller than the paper (after any scaling)
|
|
are centered on the paper. This option causes them to be
|
|
aligned to the lower-left corner of the paper instead. [config
|
|
file: psCenter]
|
|
|
|
-pagecrop
|
|
Treat the CropBox as the PDF page size. By default, the Media-
|
|
Box is used as the page size.
|
|
|
|
-duplex
|
|
Set the Duplex pagedevice entry in the PostScript file. This
|
|
tells duplex-capable printers to enable duplexing. [config
|
|
file: psDuplex]
|
|
|
|
-opw password
|
|
Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this
|
|
will bypass all security restrictions.
|
|
|
|
-upw password
|
|
Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
|
|
|
-q Don't print any messages or errors. [config file: errQuiet]
|
|
|
|
-cfg config-file
|
|
Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
-v Print copyright and version information.
|
|
|
|
-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
