## NAME
       ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

## SYNOPSIS
       **ps2ps** [ _options_ ] _input_ _output.ps_
       **eps2eps** [ _options_ ] _input_ _output.eps_

## DESCRIPTION
       **ps2ps** uses [_gs_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gs/1/markdown) to convert **PostScript**(tm) or **PDF**(tm) file "input" to simpler, normalized and
       (usually) faster PostScript in "output.ps".  The output is level 2 DSC 3.0  conforming  Post‐
       Script.

       **eps2eps**  performs  the equivalent optimization, creating Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.
       NB, despite the name, the input need not be an EPS file, PostScript or indeed PDF  files  are
       equally acceptable.

       Both  accept  any  general  Ghostscript  command  line  options,  and options specific to the
       ps2write and eps2write devices.

## FILES
       Run "**gs** **-h**" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which  you
       can get more details.
