Synopsis
fixps [OPTIONS] FILEDescription

- -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.
