NAME¶
epstopdf, repstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF
SYNOPSIS¶
epstopdf [
options] [
epsfile]
DESCRIPTION¶
epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file
epsfile (or
standard input) 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. By default, the result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF
version written.
If the bounding box is not right, of course, there are problems.
OPTIONS¶
- --outfile=file
- write result to file. If this option is not given,
and --nogs or --filter is specified, write to standard
output; otherwise, the default is to construct the output file name by
replacing any extension in the input file with .pdf.
- --[no]compress
- use compression (default: on).
- --[no]debug
- write debugging info (default: off).
- --[no]embed
- embed fonts (default: on).
- --[no]exact
- scan ExactBoundingBox (default: off).
- --[no]filter
- read standard input and (unless --outfile is given)
write standard output(default: off).
- --[no]gs
- run Ghostscript (default: on). With --nogs, output
(to standard output by default) the PostScript that would normally be
converted; that is, the input PostScript as modified by
epstopdf.
- --[no]hires
- scan HiresBoundingBox (default: off).
- --gscmd=val
- pipe output to val (default: [gswin32c on
Windows, else gs])
- --res=dpi
- set image resolution (default: [use gs default])
- --autorotate=val
- set AutoRotatePages (default: None); recognized val
choices: None, All, PageByPage. For EPS files, PageByPage is equivalent to
All.
- --restricted=val
- turn on restricted mode (default: [on for repstopdf, else
off]); this forbids the use of --gscmd and imposes restrictions on
the input and output file names according to the values of openin_any and
openout_any (see the Web2c manual, http://tug.org/web2c).
- --help
- display help message and exit
- --version
- display version information and exit
EXAMPLES¶
Examples which produce "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
BUGS¶
The case of "%%BoundingBox: (atend)" when input is not seekable (e.g.,
from a pipe) is not supported.
Report bugs in the program or this man page to tex-k@tug.org. When reporting
bugs, please include an input file and the command line options specified, so
the problem can be reproduced.
