NAME

       bib2pdf - script to convert BibTeX format files to PDF format files

SYNOPSIS

       bib2pdf <input.bib> <output.pdf>

DESCRIPTION

       bib2pdf  is a script to convert a BibTeX file into a PDF file. The conversion is performed
       by first creating a small  LaTeX  file  in  which  all  the  bibliographical  records  are
       inserted.  That  LaTeX  file  is  then latex-compiled into a DVI file which, in turn, gets
       converted into a PDF file using dvipdfm. Note that the script might be configured  to  use
       pdflatex  instead  of  latex,  thus producing the PDF output file with no extra conversion
       step.

       This   script   is    part    of    the    cb2bib    package    and    is    located    at
       /usr/share/cb2bib/c2btools/bib2pdf.
