Short description:

Manual page and help for the ps2ps Linux command. The ps2ps command uses gs (GhostScript) to convert an input PostScript or PDF file to a simpler, normalized, and (usually) faster PostScript in “output.ps”. The output is level 2 DSC 3.0 compliant with PostScript.

 

 

Man page output

man ps2ps
PS2PS(1)                                                 Ghostscript Tools                                                 PS2PS(1)

NAME
       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

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

DESCRIPTION
       ps2ps uses gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm) or PDF(tm) file "input" to simpler, normalized and (usually) faster PostScript in
       "output.ps".  The output is level 2 DSC 3.0 conforming PostScript.

       eps2eps performs the equivalent optimization, creating Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files. NB, despite the name, the  input
       need not be an EPS file, PostScript or indeed PDF files are equally acceptable.

       Both accept any general Ghostscript command line options, and options specific to the ps2write and eps2write devices.

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