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 -dLanguageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1.

       eps2eps performs the equivalent optimization for Encapsulated
       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 documentation 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 caution.
