NAME

pdf2ps - Ghostscript PDF to PostScript translator

SYNOPSIS

pdf2ps [ options ] input.pdf [output.ps]

DESCRIPTION

pdf2ps uses gs(1) to convert the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file "input.pdf" to PostScript(tm) in "output.ps". Normally the output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2 (but not PostScript LanguageLevel 3) constructs; the -dLanguageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1, while -dLanguageLevel=3 allows using LanguageLevel 3 in the output.
