PS2PDFWR(1) Ghostscript PS2PDFWR(1)

ps2pdfwr - Convert PostScript to PDF without specifying CompatibilityLevel, using ghostscript

ps2pdfwr [options...] {input.[e]ps|-} [output.pdf|-]

This wrapper script invokes gs(1) with following arguments


-q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite

as well as the appropriate -dOutputFile argument, all preceded and followed by any command-line arguments. Finally, the security option -dSAFER is prepended before all the other options (This is now redundant as "SAFER" is now the default, but the option does no harm).

The version-specific ps2pdf scripts all invoke this one with the addition of the respective compatibility level option.
