pdf2dsc - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF document
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>pdf2dsc</B> <I>input.pdf</I> [ <I>output.dsc</I> ]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>pdf2dsc</B> uses <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+gs">gs</A></B>(1) to read an Adobe <B>Portable Document
Format</B> (PDF) document &quot;input.pdf&quot; and create a <B>PostScript</B>(tm)
document &quot;output.dsc&quot; that conforms to Adobe's <B>Document Structuring
Conventions</B> (DSC) requirements.
<P>
This new document simply tells Ghostscript to read the PDF file and to
display pages one at a time. The generated document can then be viewed
with any PostScript viewer based on Ghostscript, like <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+ghostview">ghostview</A></B>(1) on
Unix or <B>GSview</B> on Windows, with which the user can browse through the
pages of the PDF document in any order.
<P>
If no output file is named on the command line, the name of the output file
is that of the input file with any extension removed, followed by the
extension &quot;.dsc&quot;.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>CAVEATS</H2>
The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific procedures. In addition, the
original PDF document must be accessible when the DSC document is
processed.
<P>
You need the file &quot;pdf2dsc.ps&quot; (originally by Russell Lang) supplied with
Ghostscript since release 3.53.
