<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>ps2ascii</B> uses <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+gs">gs</A></B>(1) to extract ASCII text from
|
|
<B>PostScript</B>(tm) or Adobe <B>Portable Document Format</B> (PDF)
|
|
files. If no files are specified on the command line, <B>gs</B> reads from
|
|
standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not
|
|
standard input. If no output file is specified, the ASCII text is written
|
|
to standard output.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ps2ascii</B> doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't very good at
|
|
dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might
|
|
consider <B>pstotext</B> (see below).
