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.
