NAME
       epstopdf - convert an EPS file to PDF

SYNOPSIS
       epstopdf [options] epsfile

DESCRIPTION
       epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so that it
       is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a  page  size
       exactly	corresponding to the BoundingBox.  This means that when Ghost‐
       script renders it, the result needs no cropping, and the	 PDF  MediaBox
       is correct.  The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version writ‐
       ten.

       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.
