## 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.
