EPSTOPDF(1)EPSTOPDF(1)NAMEepstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF
SYNOPSISepstopdf [options] epsfile
DESCRIPTIONepstopdf 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...

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.
