NAME
       epstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF

SYNOPSIS
       epstopdf [options] epsfile

DESCRIPTION
       epstopdf	 transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file eps-
       file so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0  coordi-
       nate, 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 cor-
       rect.  The result is piped to Ghostscript and a	PDF  ver-
       sion written.

       If  the	bounding  box  is  not right, of course, you have
       problems...

OPTIONS
       --outfile=file
	      write result to file instead of standard output.

       --[no]filter
	      read standard input   (default: --nofilter).

       --[no]gs
	      run ghostscript	    (default: --gs).

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

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

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

       --[no]debug
	      debug informations    (default: --nodebug).

       --help print usage

EXAMPLE
       Examples for producing "test.pdf":

       epstopdf test.eps
       produce postscript | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf
       produce postscript | epstopdf -f -d -o=test.pdf

       Example: look for HiresBoundingBox and  produce	corrected
       PostScript:

       epstopdf -d --nogs -hires test.ps>testcorr.ps

BUGS
       The  only  thing	 I  have  not  allowed for is the case of
       "%%BoundingBox: (atend)", which is more complicated.
