## SYNOPSIS

           pdf2dsc input.pdf [ output.dsc ]

## DESCRIPTION

           pdf2dsc uses gs(1) to read an Adobe Portable Document For
           mat (PDF) document "input.pdf" and create a PostScript(tm)
           document "output.dsc" 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.   The  generated
           document  can  then  be  viewed with any PostScript viewer
           based on Ghostscript, like ghostview(1) on Unix or  GSview
           on  Windows,  with  which  the user can browse through the
           pages of the PDF document in any order.

           If no output file is named on the command line,  the  name
           of  the  output  file  is  that of the input file with any
           extension removed, followed by the extension ".dsc".

## CAVEATS

           The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific procedures.  In
           addition,  the  original  PDF  document must be accessible
           when the DSC document is processed.

           You need the  file  "pdf2dsc.ps"  (originally  by  Russell
           Lang) supplied with Ghostscript since release 3.53.
