epstopdf − convert an EPS file to PDF |
|
epstopdf [options] epsfile |
|
epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written. If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems... |
|
--outfile=file |
|
write result to file instead of standard output. |
|
--[no]filter |
|
read standard input (default: --nofilter). |
|
--[no]gs |
|
run ghostscript (default: --gs). |
|
--[no]compress |
|
use compression (default: --compress). |
|
--[no]hires |
|
scan HiresBoundingBox (default: --nohires). |
|
--[no]exact |
|
scan ExactBoundingBox (default: --noexact). |
|
--[no]debug |
|
debug informations (default: --nodebug). |
|
--help |
print usage |

Examples for producing "test.pdf": epstopdf test.eps produce postscript | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf produce postscript | epstopdf -f -d -o=test.pdf Example: look for HiresBoundingBox and produce corrected PostScript: epstopdf -d --nogs -hires test.ps>testcorr.ps |
|
The only thing I have not allowed for is the case of "%%BoundingBox: (atend)", which is more complicated. |
