NAME
     pdf2dsc - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF document

SYNOPSIS
     pdf2dsc input.pdf [ output.dsc ]

DESCRIPTION
     pdf2dsc uses gs(1) to read an Adobe Portable Document Format
     (PDF) document "input.pdf" and create a PostScript(tm) docu-
     ment  "output.dsc"  that conforms to Adobe's Document Struc-
     turing Conventions (DSC) requirements.

     This new document simply tells Ghostscript to read  the  PDF
     file and to display pages one at a time.  The generated doc-
     ument 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".

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.
