Usage
See gs(1).
ps2pdf
ps2pdf is a wrapper around ghostscript to convert PostScript to PDF:
$ ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dOptimize=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true YourPSFile.ps
Explanation:
- with
-sPAPERSIZE=somethingyou define the paper size. For valid PAPERSIZE values, see [1]. -dOptimize=truelet's the created PDF be optimised for loading-dEmbedAllFonts=truemakes the fonts look always nice
Note: You cannot choose the paper orientation in ps2pdf. If your input PS file is healthy, it already contains the orientation information. If you are trying to use an Encapsulated PS file, you will have problems, if it does not fit in the
-sPAPERSIZE you specified, because EPS files usually do not contain paper orientation informaiton. a workaround is creating a new paper in ghostscript settings (call it e.g. "slide") and use it as -sPAPERSIZE=slide.
