fixps − sanitize PostScript files
fixps [OPTIONS] FILE
Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postprocessing.
−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 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.
