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 (\n) - Remove empty lines - Fix Apple pro-
logue (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 '%%Begin-
Setup/%%EndSetup' section - Removes Canvas' extraneaous '%%End-
Document:' 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 big-
ger, but much safer.
