EPSTOPDF(1) General Commands Manual EPSTOPDF(1)
NAME
epstopdf, repstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF
SYNOPSIS
epstopdf [options] [epsfile]
DESCRIPTION
epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile (or stan-
dard 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
Options may start with either "-" or "--", and may be unambiguously
abbreviated. (It is best to use the full option name in scripts,
though, to avoid possible collisions with new options in the future.)
--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 stan-
dard output(default: off).
--[no]gs
run Ghostscript (default: on). With --nogs, output (to standard
output by default) the PostScript that would normally be con-
verted; 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 all equivalently producing "test.pdf":
epstopdf test.eps
cat test.eps | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf
cat test.eps | epstopdf -f -d -o=test.pdf
Example to 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.
