.SH NAME
pdf2ps \- Ghostscript PDF to PostScript translator
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpdf2ps\fR [ \fIoptions\fR ] \fIinput.pdf [output.ps]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpdf2ps\fR uses \fBgs\fR(1) to convert the Adobe \fBPortable Document
Format\fR (PDF) file "input.pdf" to \fBPostScript\fR(tm) in "output.ps".
Normally the output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2 (but not PostScript
LanguageLevel 3) constructs; the \fB-dLanguageLevel=1\fR option restricts
the output to Level 1, while \fB-dLanguageLevel=3\fR allows using
LanguageLevel 3 in the output.
