NAME
fixps – sanitize PostScript files
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.
