NAME
pdf2dsc - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF
document
SYNOPSIS
pdf2dsc input.pdf [
output.dsc ]
DESCRIPTION
pdf2dsc uses gs(1) to read
an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) document "input.pdf"
and create a PostScript(tm) document "output.dsc" that
conforms to Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions (DSC)
requirements.
This new document simply tells Ghostscript to read the PDF file
and to display pages one at a time. The generated document can then
be viewed with any PostScript viewer based on Ghostscript, like
ghostview(1)
on Unix or GSview on Windows, with which the user can browse
through the pages of the PDF document in any order.
If no output file is named on the command line, the name of the
output file is that of the input file with any extension removed,
followed by the extension ".dsc".
CAVEATS
The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific
procedures. In addition, the original PDF document must be
accessible when the DSC document is processed.
You need the file "pdf2dsc.ps" (originally by Russell Lang)
supplied with Ghostscript since release 3.53.
