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 configura-
|
|
tion file commands. 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 separa-
|
|
tion handling is the same as for -level2Sep. [con-
|
|
fig 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 compiled with OPI sup-
|
|
port.) [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 PostScript 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
|
|
output. Also, some PostScript interpreters do not
|
|
have TrueType rasterizers. [config file: psEm-
|
|
bedTrueTypeFonts]
|
|
|
|
-noembcidps
|
|
By default, any CID PostScript fonts which are
|
|
embedded in the PDF file are copied into the
|
|
PostScript file. This option disables that embed-
|
|
ding. No attempt is made to substitute for non-
|
|
embedded CID PostScript fonts. [config file: psEm-
|
|
bedCIDPostScriptFonts]
|
|
|
|
-noembcidtt
|
|
By default, any CID TrueType fonts which are embed-
|
|
ded in the PDF file are copied into the PostScript
|
|
file. This option disables that embedding. No
|
|
attempt is made to substitute for non-embedded CID
|
|
TrueType fonts. [config file: psEmbedCIDTrueType-
|
|
Fonts]
|
|
|
|
-preload
|
|
Convert PDF forms to PS procedures, and preload
|
|
image data. This uses more memory in the
|
|
PostScript interpreter, but generates significantly
|
|
smaller PS files in situations where, e.g., the
|
|
same image is drawn on every page of a long docu-
|
|
ment.
|
|
|
|
-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: psPaper-
|
|
Size]
|
|
|
|
-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 speci-
|
|
fied 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: psExpandSmaller]
|
|
|
|
-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: psCen-
|
|
ter]
|
|
|
|
-pagecrop
|
|
Treat the CropBox as the PDF page size. By
|
|
default, the MediaBox 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. Pro-
|
|
viding 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 sys-
|
|
tem-wide config file.
|
|
|
|
-v Print copyright and version information.
|
|
|
|
-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are
|
|
equivalent.)
