pdf2dsc - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF document

Author

       Yves Arrouye <yves.arrouye@usa.net> and Russell Lang gsview at ghostgum.com.au

9.55.0                                          27 September 2021                                     PDF2DSC(1)

Caveats

       The DSC document uses Ghostscript-specific procedures.  In addition, the original PDF  document  must  be
       accessible when the DSC document is processed.

       You need the file "pdf2dsc.ps" (originally by Russell Lang) supplied with Ghostscript since release 3.53.

Description

pdf2dsc  uses  gs(1)  to  read  an Adobe PortableDocumentFormat (PDF) document "input.pdf" and create a
       PostScript(tm) document "output.dsc" that conforms to  Adobe's  DocumentStructuringConventions  (DSC)
       requirements.

       This  new document simply tells Ghostscript to read the PDF file and to display pages one at a time.  The
       generated document can then be viewed with any PostScript viewer based on Ghostscript, like  ghostview(1)
       on Unix or GSview on Windows, with which the user can browse through the pages of the PDF document in any
       order.

       If  no  output  file  is named on the command line, the name of the output file is that of the input file
       with any extension removed, followed by the extension ".dsc".
