       The case of "%%BoundingBox: (atend)" when input is not seekable (e.g., from a pipe) is not supported.

       Report  bugs  in  the  program  or  this  man  page  to tex-k@tug.org (https://lists.tug.org/tex-k). When
       reporting bugs, please include an input file and the command line options specified, so the  problem  can
       be reproduced.

epstopdf converts the input PostScript file to PDF, by default using Ghostscript.

       In  more detail: epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile (or standard input) so that
       it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page size  exactly  corresponding  to  the
       BoundingBox. Thus, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct.

       By default, the output name is the input name with any extension replaced by .pdf.  An output name ending
       with .pdf can also be given as a second argument on the command line, or the --outfile (-o) option can be
       used with any name.

       The output is PDF 1.5 by default. To change this, use, for example
       --gsopt=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.7
       (Until  epstopdf  2.28 (released September 2018), the PDF version was whatever the underlying Ghostscript
       or other interpreter produced by default.)

       PJL commands at the start of a file are removed.  DOS EPS binary files (TN 5002) are  supported.  Seeking
       from a pipe is not supported.

       If the bounding box in the input is incorrect, inevitably there will be resulting problems.

       These examples all equivalently convert `test.eps' to `test.pdf':
       epstopdf test.eps
       epstopdf test.eps test.pdf
       cat test.eps | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf
       cat test.eps | epstopdf -f -o=test.pdf

       Example for using HiResBoundingBox instead of BoundingBox:
       epstopdf --hires test.eps

       Example for epstopdf's attempt at correcting PostScript:
       epstopdf --nogs test.ps >testcorr.ps

       In all cases, you can add --debug to see more about what epstopdf is doing.  Use  --debug  as  the  first
       option for maximum output.

       Options  may  start with either "-" or "--", and may be unambiguously abbreviated.  It is best to use the
       full option name in scripts to avoid possible collisions with new options in the future.

       General script options:

       --help display help message and exit

       --version
              display version information and exit

       --outfile=file
              write result to file.  If this option is not given, and --nogs or --filter is specified, write  to
              standard  output;  otherwise,  the  default  is to construct the output file name by replacing any
              extension in the input file with `.pdf'.

       --[no]debug
              write debugging info (default: false). For maximum output, use --debug as the first option.

       --[no]exact
              scan ExactBoundingBox (default: false).

       --[no]filter
              read standard input and (unless --outfile is given) write standard output (default: false).

       --[no]gs
              run Ghostscript (default: true).   With  --nogs,  output  (to  standard  output  by  default)  the
              PostScript  that  would  normally  be  converted;  that  is,  the  input PostScript as modified by
              epstopdf.

       --[no]hires
              scan HiresBoundingBox (default: false).

       --restricted=val
              turn on restricted mode (default: [true for repstopdf, else  false]);  this  forbids  the  use  of
              --gscmd,  among  other  options,  and  imposes  restrictions  on  the  input and output file names
              according   to   the   values   of   openin_any   and   openout_any   (see   the   Web2c   manual,
              https://tug.org/web2c).   On Windows, the Ghostscript command is forced to be the TeX Live builtin
              gs, installed under .../tlpkg/tlgs/bin/.

       Options for Ghostscript (more info below):

       --gscmd=val
              pipe output to val (default: [gswin64c.exe on 64-bit Windows, gswin32c.exe on 32-bit Windows, else
              gs])

       --gsopt=val
              include val as one argument in the gs command (can be repeated).

       --gsopts=val
              split val at whitespace and include each resulting word as an argument in the gs command  (can  be
              repeated).

       --autorotate=val
              set  AutoRotatePages  (default:  None);  recognized  val  choices: None, All, PageByPage.  For EPS
              files, PageByPage is equivalent to All.

       --[no]compress
              use compression in the output (default: true); if turned off, passes -dUseFlateCompression=false.

       --device=dev
              use -sDEVICE=dev (default: pdfwrite); not allowed in restricted mode.

       --[no]embed
              embed fonts (default: true); passes -dMaxSubsetPct=100-dSubsetFonts=true-dEmbedAllFonts=true.--[no]gray
              grayscale      output      (default:      false);      passes       -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray-dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray.--pdfsettings=val
              use  -dPDFSETTINGS=/val  (default  is  `prepress' if --embed, else empty); recognized val choices:
              screen, ebook, printer, prepress, default.

       --[no]quiet
              use -q, a.k.a. -dQUIET (default: false).

       --res=dpi,dpixdpi
              set image resolution (default: [use gs default]).

       --[no]safer
              use -d(NO)SAFER (default: true).

       In addition to the specific options above, additional options to be used with gs can  be  specified  with
       either or both of the two cumulative options --gsopts and --gsopt.--gsopts  takes  a single string of options, which is split at whitespace; each resulting word then added
       to the gs command line individually.

       --gsopt adds its argument as a single option to the gs command line.  It can be used  multiple  times  to
       specify options separately.  This form must be used if a gs option or its value contains whitespace.

       In  restricted  mode,  options are limited to those with names and values known to be safe.  Some options
       taking booleans, integers or fixed names are allowed, those taking general strings are not.

       In order to give a comprehensible error message, epstopdf checks whether kpsewhich and (the specified) gs
       are found in the current PATH, or executable if they are specified as absolute names.
