NAME

       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

SYNOPSIS

       cupsfilter  [  -c config-file ] [ -e ] -j job-id[,N] [ -m mime/type ] [
       -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p filename.ppd ] [ -t title ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you
       to convert a file to a specific format, just as if you had printed  the
       file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.

OPTIONS

       -c config-file
            Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

       -e
            Use every filter from the PPD file.

       -j job-id[,N]
            Converts  document  N  from  the  specified  job. If N is omitted,
            document 1 is converted.

       -m mime/type
            Specifies the destination file type.  The  default  file  type  is
            application/pdf.  Use printer/foo to convert to the printer format
            defined by the filters in the PPD file.

       -n copies
            Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
            Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.

       -p filename.ppd
            Specifies the PPD file to use.

       -t title
            Specifies the document title.

KNOWN ISSUES

       cupsfilter currently does not use the filters defined in the PPD  file.
       This will be addressed in a future CUPS release.
