NAME¶
pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer
SYNOPSIS¶
pdfopt [
options ]
input.pdf output.pdf
DESCRIPTION¶
pdfopt uses
gs(1) to convert the Adobe
Portable Document
Format (PDF) file "input.pdf" to a so-called optimized form
in "output.pdf". Optimization puts the elements of the file into a
more linear order and adds "hint" pointers, allowing Adobe's
Acrobat(TM) products to display individual pages of the file more quickly when
accessing the file through a network.
Note: input.pdf and output.pdf must not be the same. If they are, the file will
probably be destroyed.
pdfopt currently does not check for this.
FILES¶
