NAME
       epstopdf, repstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF

SYNOPSIS
       epstopdf [options] [epsfile]

DESCRIPTION
       epstopdf	 transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile (or stan‐
       dard input) so that it is guaranteed to start at	 the  0,0  coordinate,
       and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox.  This
       means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs	 no  cropping,
       and  the	 PDF  MediaBox is correct.  By default, the result is piped to
       Ghostscript and a PDF version written.

       If the bounding box is not right, of course, there are problems.

OPTIONS
       Options may start with either "-" or "--",  and	may  be	 unambiguously
       abbreviated.   (It  is  best  to	 use  the full option name in scripts,
       though, to avoid possible collisions with new options in the future.)

       --outfile=file
	      write result to file.  If this option is not given,  and	--nogs
	      or  --filter  is specified, write to standard output; otherwise,
	      the default is to construct the output file  name	 by  replacing
	      any extension in the input file with .pdf.

       --[no]compress
	      use compression (default: on).

       --[no]debug
	      write debugging info (default: off).

       --[no]embed
	      embed fonts (default: on).

       --[no]exact
	      scan ExactBoundingBox (default: off).

       --[no]filter
	      read  standard input and (unless --outfile is given) write stan‐
	      dard output(default: off).

       --[no]gs
	      run Ghostscript (default: on).  With --nogs, output (to standard
	      output  by  default)  the PostScript that would normally be con‐
	      verted; that is, the input PostScript as modified by epstopdf.

       --[no]hires
	      scan HiresBoundingBox (default: off).

       --gscmd=val
	      pipe output to val (default: [gswin32c on Windows, else gs])

       --res=dpi
	      set image resolution (default: [use gs default])

       --autorotate=val
	      set AutoRotatePages (default:  None);  recognized	 val  choices:
	      None,  All, PageByPage.  For EPS files, PageByPage is equivalent
	      to All.

       --restricted=val
	      turn on restricted mode (default: [on for repstopdf, else off]);
	      this  forbids the use of --gscmd and imposes restrictions on the
	      input  and  output  file	names  according  to  the  values   of
	      openin_any    and	   openout_any	  (see	 the   Web2c   manual,
	      http://tug.org/web2c).

       --help display help message and exit

       --version
	      display version information and exit

EXAMPLES
       Examples all equivalently producing "test.pdf":
       epstopdf test.eps
       cat test.eps | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf
       cat test.eps | epstopdf -f -d -o=test.pdf
       Example to look for HiResBoundingBox and produce corrected PostScript:
       epstopdf -d --nogs --hires test.ps >testcorr.ps

BUGS
       The case of "%%BoundingBox: (atend)" when input is not seekable	(e.g.,
       from a pipe) is not supported.

       Report  bugs  in	 the  program or this man page to tex-k@tug.org.  When
       reporting bugs, please include an  input	 file  and  the	 command  line
       options specified, so the problem can be reproduced.
