NAME
fixps - sanitize PostScript files
SYNOPSIS
fixps [OPTIONS] FILE
DESCRIPTION
Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postprocessing.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
display version information and exit
-q, --quiet
don’t print informational messages
-o, --output=FILE
save result in FILE. If FILE is ‘-’, send to stdout
-f, --force
force full rewrite by ghostscript
-n, --no-fix
don’t fix the FILE, but still honor ‘-o’
-c, --check, --dry-run
don’t perform any action
Fixes:
- Remove junk before and after PostScript content - Use only
Unix end of lines (
)
- Remove empty lines - Fix Apple prologue (fixmacps) - Fix
FrameMaker prologue (fixfmps) - Fix CorelDraw prologue (fixnt) -
Fix Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix Windows 95
prologue - Ensure there is a ‘%%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup’ section -
Removes Canvas’ extraneaous ‘%%EndDocument:’ comments - Split
too long lines
If the FILE seems really in a bad state, ghostscript may be used to
perform a full rewrite. The output might then be significantly bigger,
but much safer.
