.TH PDF2DSC 1 "25 July 1996" "Ghostscript 4" "Ghostscript Tools"
.SH NAME
.B pdf2dsc
\- generate a PS page list of a PDF document
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pdf2dsc
.I pdffile
[
.I dscfile
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pdf2dsc
reads a Portable Document Format (PDF) document
.I pdffile
and creates a PostScript document
.I dscfile
that conforms to Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions (DSC)
requirements.
This new document simply tells Ghostscript to read the PDF file and to
display pages one at a time.
.PP
The generated document can then be viewed with any PostScript viewer
based on Ghostscript, like
.BR ghostview (1)
or
.BR GSView ,
which will let the user browse through the pages of the PDF document
in any order.
.PP
If the output document name
.I dscfile
is not given on the command line, the name used is
.I pdffile
with any extension removed, followed by a
.B .dsc
extension.
.SH CAVEATS
The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific procedures.
In addition, the original PDF document must be accessible when the
DSC document is read.
.PP
You need the
.B pdf2dsc.ps
file (originally by Russell Lang) that comes with Ghostscript releases
3.53 and higher and a corresponding Ghostscript interpreter.
