NAME
    pdf2dsc - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF document

SYNOPSIS
    pdf2dsc input.pdf [ output.dsc ]

DESCRIPTION
    pdf2dsc uses gs(1) to read an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) doc-
    ument "input.pdf" and create a PostScript(tm) document "output.dsc"
    that  conforms to Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions  (DSC)
    requirements.

    This new document simply tells Ghostscript to read the PDF file and to
    display pages one at a time. The generated document can then be viewed
    with any PostScript viewer based on Ghostscript, like ghostview(1) on
    Unix or  GSview on Windows, with which the user can browse through the
    pages of the PDF document in any order.

    If no output file is named on the command line, the name of the output
    file is that of the input file with any extension removed, followed by
    the extension ".dsc".

CAVEATS
    The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific procedures.  In addition,
    the original PDF document must be accessible when the DSC document is
    processed.

    You need the file "pdf2dsc.ps" (originally by Russell Lang) supplied
    with Ghostscript since release 3.53.
