NAME
     ps2pdf - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript

     ps2pdf12 - Convert  PostScript  to  PDF 1.2  (Acrobat 3-and-
     				later compatible) using ghostscript

     ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later
     				compatible) using ghostscript

SYNOPSIS
     ps2pdf    [options...] (input.ps|-) [output.pdf|-]
     ps2pdf12  [options...] (input.ps|-) [output.pdf|-]
     ps2pdf13  [options...] (input.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)
     product: 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 documentation for more information.
