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".  Opti-
    mization  puts the elements of the file into a more linear order and
    adds "hint" pointers, 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
    Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your
    system, from which you can get more details.
