NAME
        pdfopt - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer
 
SYNOPSIS
        pdfopt [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf
 
DESCRIPTION
        pdfopt  uses  gs(1) to convert the Adobe Portable Document
        Format (PDF) file "input.pdf"  to  a  so-called  optimized
        form  in  "output.pdf".  Optimization puts the elements of
        the file into a more linear order and adds  "hint"  point­
        ers,  allowing  Adobe's  Acrobat(TM)  products  to display
        individual pages of the file more quickly  when  accessing
        the file through a network.
 
        Note:  input.pdf  and output.pdf must not be the same.  If
        they are, the file will  probably  be  destroyed.   pdfopt
        currently does not check for this.
 
FILES

        tion on your system, from which you can get more  details.
