epstopdf

Convert EPS to encapsulated PDF using GhostScript.

Converts EPS files to encapsulated PDF files. There are two versions available. The original is a Perl script `epstopdf_perl' by Sebastian Rahtz. If running this script with Ghostscript, it assumes version 6.51 or later and patches it to suppress its automatic rotation of pages where most of the text is at an angle.

A version rewritten in C is also available and does not require Perl, but still requires Ghostscript. A compiled copy for Windows32 systems is included in the bundle. Since the sources are included, it can be ported to any system having a C-compiler.

The development of the two versions is not linked, and the Perl version is thought to be more up-to-date than the C-coded version.

The authors are Sebastian Rahtz, Thomas Esser, Heiko Oberdiek, Gerben Wierda, Kong Hoon Lee, Juergen Bausa, Pascal Perichon and Daivid W. Rankin, Jr..
