NAME
pdftops - Portable Document Format (PDF) to PostScript converter (version 3.02)
SYNOPSIS
pdftops [options] [PDF-file [PS-file]]
DESCRIPTION
Pdftops converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to PostScript so they can be
printed.
Pdftops reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a PostScript file, PS-file. If PS-file
is not specified, pdftops converts file.pdf to file.ps (or file.eps with the -eps option).
If PS-file is '-', the PostScript is sent to stdout.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Pdftops reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find the user's private
config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file,
/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc. See the xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
OPTIONS
Many of the following options can be set with configuration file commands. These are
listed in square brackets with the description of the corresponding command line option.
-f number
Specifies the first page to print.
-l number
Specifies the last page to print.
-level1
Generate Level 1 PostScript. The resulting PostScript files will be significantly
larger (if they contain images), but will print on Level 1 printers. This also
converts all images to black and white. No more than one of the PostScript level
options (-level1, -level1sep, -level2, -level2sep, -level3, -level3Sep) may be
given. [config file: psLevel]
-level1sep
Generate Level 1 separable PostScript. All colors are converted to CMYK. Images
are written with separate stream data for the four components. [config file:
psLevel]
-level2
Generate Level 2 PostScript. Level 2 supports color images and image compression.
This is the default setting. [config file: psLevel]
-level2sep
Generate Level 2 separable PostScript. All colors are converted to CMYK. The
PostScript separation convention operators are used to handle custom (spot) colors.
[config file: psLevel]
-level3
Generate Level 3 PostScript. This enables all Level 2 features plus CID font
embedding and masked image generation. [config file: psLevel]
-level3Sep
Generate Level 3 separable PostScript. The separation handling is the same as for
-level2Sep. [config file: psLevel]
-eps Generate an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file. An EPS file contains a single
image, so if you use this option with a multi-page PDF file, you must use -f and -l
to specify a single page. No more than one of the mode options (-eps, -form) may
be given.
-form Generate a PostScript form which can be imported by software that understands
forms. A form contains a single page, so if you use this option with a multi-page
PDF file, you must use -f and -l to specify a single page. The -level1 option can-
not be used with -form.
-opi Generate OPI comments for all images and forms which have OPI information. (This
option is only available if pdftops was compiled with OPI support.) [config file:
psOPI]
-noembt1
By default, any Type 1 fonts which are embedded in the PDF file are copied into the
PostScript file. This option causes pdftops to substitute base fonts instead.
Embedded fonts make PostScript files larger, but may be necessary for readable out-
put. [config file: psEmbedType1Fonts]
-noembtt
By default, any TrueType fonts which are embedded in the PDF file are copied into
the PostScript file. This option causes pdftops to substitute base fonts instead.
Embedded fonts make PostScript files larger, but may be necessary for readable out-
put. Also, some PostScript interpreters do not have TrueType rasterizers. [config
file: psEmbedTrueTypeFonts]
-noembcidps
By default, any CID PostScript fonts which are embedded in the PDF file are copied
into the PostScript file. This option disables that embedding. No attempt is made
to substitute for non-embedded CID PostScript fonts. [config file: psEmbedCID-
PostScriptFonts]
-noembcidtt
By default, any CID TrueType fonts which are embedded in the PDF file are copied
into the PostScript file. This option disables that embedding. No attempt is made
to substitute for non-embedded CID TrueType fonts. [config file: psEmbedCIDTrue-
TypeFonts]
-preload
Convert PDF forms to PS procedures, and preload image data. This uses more memory
in the PostScript interpreter, but generates significantly smaller PS files in sit-
uations where, e.g., the same image is drawn on every page of a long document.
-paper size
Set the paper size to one of "letter", "legal", "A4", or "A3". This can also be
set to "match", which will set the paper size to match the size specified in the
PDF file. [config file: psPaperSize]
-paperw size
Set the paper width, in points. [config file: psPaperSize]
-paperh size
Set the paper height, in points. [config file: psPaperSize]
-nocrop
By default, output is cropped to the CropBox specified in the PDF file. This
option disables cropping. [config file: psCrop]
-expand
Expand PDF pages smaller than the paper to fill the paper. By default, these pages
are not scaled. [config file: psExpandSmaller]
-noshrink
Don't scale PDF pages which are larger than the paper. By default, pages larger
than the paper are shrunk to fit. [config file: psShrinkLarger]
-nocenter
By default, PDF pages smaller than the paper (after any scaling) are centered on
the paper. This option causes them to be aligned to the lower-left corner of the
paper instead. [config file: psCenter]
-pagecrop
Treat the CropBox as the PDF page size. By default, the MediaBox is used as the
page size.
-duplex
Set the Duplex pagedevice entry in the PostScript file. This tells duplex-capable
printers to enable duplexing. [config file: psDuplex]
-opw password
Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this will bypass all secu-
rity restrictions.
-upw password
Specify the user password for the PDF file.
-q Don't print any messages or errors. [config file: errQuiet]
-cfg config-file
Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.
-v Print copyright and version information.
-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
EXIT CODES
The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
0 No error.
1 Error opening a PDF file.
2 Error opening an output file.
3 Error related to PDF permissions.
99 Other error.
