NAME
       ps2pdf - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript
       ps2pdf12	 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3-and-later compati-
       ble) using ghostscript
       ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later  compati-
       ble) using ghostscript

SYNOPSIS
       ps2pdf  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
       ps2pdf12	 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]
       ps2pdf13	 [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]

DESCRIPTION
       The  ps2pdf  scripts  are  work-alikes for nearly all the functionality
       (but not the user interface) of Adobe’s Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) prod-
       uct:  they  convert  PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF)
       files.

       The three scripts differ as follows:

       -      ps2pdf12 will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later
	      compatible).

       -      ps2pdf13 will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later
	      compatible).

       -      ps2pdf per se currently produces PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat	3-and-
	      later  compatible).  However,  this may change in the future. If
	      you care about  the  compatibility  level	 of  the  output,  use
	      ps2pdf12	or  ps2pdf13, or use the -dCompatibility=1.x switch in
	      the command line.

       There are some limitations in ps2pdf’s conversion. See the  HTML	 docu-
       mentation for more information.
