SYNOPSIS
acroread [options] [list of files]
OPTIONS
-display <display>
This option specifies the host and display to use.
-geometry [<width>x<height>][{+|-}<x offset>{+|-}<y offset>]
Size and/or location of the document windows. Note: this option
is position dependent, and can be specified multiple times. The
geometry specified only affects the list of files following it.
-help
Prints the common command-line options.
-helpall
Prints out all command-line options.
-iconic
Launches in an iconic state on the desktop.
+iconic
Launches in a normal state on the desktop (default). Note:
these options are position dependent, and can be specified
multiple times. The iconic or normal state specified only
affects the list of files following it.
-toPostScript [options] pdf_file ... [ps_dir]
-toPostScript [options] -pairs pdf_file_1 ps_file_1 ...
-toPostScript [options]
Converts the given pdf_files to PostScript.
In the first form, if the last file specified is a directory,
then all preceding files will be converted to PostScript and the
generated PostScript files will be placed into ps_dir. If a
directory is not specified, then the PostScript files will be
placed in the same directory as the original file.
In the second form, the file list contains pairs, each
consisting of a PDF filename and a corresponding PostScript
filename.
The third form specifies a filter, reading a PDF file from
standard input and writing the PostScript file to standard
output.
Note: When using -toPostScript it must be the first argument
passed in on the command line.
The following are valid options for the conversion of PDF to
PostScript:
-binary - emit binary PostScript where possible
-start <int> - identify the first page in the document to be
converted (default is the first page of the document)
-end <int> - identify the last page in the document to be
converted (default is the last page of the document)
-optimizeForSpeed - emit PostScript such that all fonts are
emitted once at the beginning of the document.
This
results in faster transmission times and smaller PostScript
documents but requires more PostScript printer virtual memory.
-landscape - rotate the pages to print landscape
-reverse - reverse the page order of the output
-odd - emit only odd-numbered pages
-even - emit only even-numbered pages
-commentsOff - don’t print comments
-level1 - emit Level 1 PostScript (default is Level 2 PostScript)
-level2 - emit Level 2 PostScript
-level3 - emit Level 3 PostScript
-printerhalftones - use the printer default halftones.
-saveVM - download fonts as needed to preserve printer memory
-scale <int> - scale the pages according to the scale factor
(default is 100 percent)
-shrink - scale the pages to fit the page size
-size <pagesize> - set the page size.
The following page sizes
are recognized:
letter - letter size paper tabloid - tabloid size paper ledger -
ledger size paper legal - legal size paper executive - executive
size paper a3 - standard A3 size a4 - standard A4 size a5 -
standard A5 size b4 - standard B4 size b5 - standard B5 size wxh
- custom size paper where w is the integer width
in points and h is the integer height in points
-transQuality level - set the transparency flattening level
Value from 1-5, where 1 means rasterize everything, 5 means
rasterize as little as possible, default is 3.
-xrm <X resource specification>
Standard X Window System resource specification on command line.
