Synopsis

    pstopdf [inputfile] [-o outfile] [options]

Convert a PostScript input file to a PDF file. The PDF file is always written to a file, whose name is either derived from the input filename, or which must be supplied via -o if the input data is read from standard input.

Options

-i

Read PostScript from standard input instead of from inputfile.

-l

Write messages to a log file instead of to standard output. The log file name is the same as the output filename, with a .log extension added to it.

-p

Print a progress message at the end of each page. The messages always go to standard output, even with -l.

-o file

Place the output in file. By default, for an input PostScript file whizprogdoc.ps, the PDF file will be named whizprogdoc.pdf.
