       ps2pdf13 - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later  compati-

       ble) using ghostscript

SYNOPSIS

       ps2pdf  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]

       ps2pdf12  [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]

       ps2pdf13  [options...] {input.[e]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) prod-

       uct:  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  docu-

       mentation for more information.
OPTIONS

       The ps2pdf scripts use the same options as gs(1).
