NAME
       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

SYNOPSIS
       ps2ps [ options ] input.ps output.ps
       eps2eps [ options ] input.eps output.eps

DESCRIPTION
       ps2ps  uses  gs(1)  to  convert  PostScript(tm) file "input.ps" to simpler, normalized and (usually) faster PostScript in
       "output.ps".  Normally the output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2 or Level 3 constructs, but  the  -dLanguageLevel=1
       option restricts the output to Level 1.

       eps2eps performs the equivalent optimization for Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.

       Both  accept  any general Ghostscript command line options, and respectively options specific to the pswrite and epswrite
       devices.

FILES
       Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details.

BUGS
       The pswrite device used by both ps2ps and eps2eps produces much lower level output than is desirable. Use with caution.
