NAME

       fixps - sanitize PostScript files

SYNOPSIS

       fixps [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postprocessing.

OPTIONS

       -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 (
) - 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.
