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.
