PS2PS(1)                Ghostscript Tools                PS2PS(1)



NAME
       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

SYNOPSIS
       ps2ps [ options ] input.ps output.ps
       eps2eps [ options ] input.eps output.eps

DESCRIPTION
       ps2ps uses gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm) file "input.ps"
       to simpler, normalized and (usually) faster PostScript  in
       "output.ps".   Normally  the  output  is  allowed  to  use
       PostScript Level 2 or Level 3 constructs, but  the  -dLan-
       guageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1.

       eps2eps  performs the equivalent optimization for Encapsu-
       lated PostScript (EPS) files.

       Both accept any general Ghostscript command line  options,
       and  respectively  options  specific  to  the  pswrite and
       epswrite devices.

FILES
       Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documenta-
       tion  on your system, from which you can get more details.

BUGS
       The pswrite device used by both ps2ps and eps2eps produces
       much  lower  level output than is desirable. Use with cau-
       tion.
