NAME
       pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer

SYNOPSIS
       pdfopt [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf

DESCRIPTION
       pdfopt  uses  gs(1) to convert the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file "input.pdf" to a so-called optimized form in
       "output.pdf".  Optimization puts the elements of the file into a more linear order and  adds  "hint"  pointers,  allowing
       Adobe's  Acrobat(TM) products to display individual pages of the file more quickly when accessing the file through a net-
       work.

       Note: input.pdf and output.pdf must not be the same.  If they are, the file will probably be destroyed.  pdfopt currently
       does not check for this.

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