Linux eps to pdf

How to create a single page PDF file out of multiple EPS files with GhostScript

I’m trying to merge eps files into a pdf file using GS, however, I cannot get it to put multiple eps files without page breaks in between even if original files are small. The command I’m using is:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out_file [list of eps files. ]

I decided to write a simple script to generate a tex file that includes eps file arguments (using \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth] . ). Then using latex, and dvipdf I can get a pdf file with multiple eps files on a page.

I merged a handful of pdf’s into a single document using pdftk *.pdf output all.pdf . So that leaves you with a converting EPS documents to PDF: How to convert PDF to EPS?

@perreal No, pdftk does not merge multiple pages into one single page — except the background and stamp operation, but they are for other purposes.

psmerge picture1.eps picture2.eps > merged.ps

epstopdf (1) — Linux Manuals

Epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile (or standard input) so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. Thus, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct.

By default, the output name is the input name with any extension replaced by .pdf. An output name ending with .pdf can also be given as a second argument on the command line, or the —outfile (-o) option can be used with any name.

The output is PDF 1.5 by default; use, e.g.,

--gsopt=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.7

to change this. (Until epstopdf 2.28 (released September 2018), the PDF version was whatever the underlying Ghostscript or other interpreter produced by default.)

PJL commands at the start of a file are removed. DOS EPS binary files (TN 5002) are supported.

If the bounding box in the input is incorrect, of course there will be resulting problems.

OPTIONS

Options may start with either «—» or «—«, and may be unambiguously abbreviated. It is best to use the full option name in scripts to avoid possible collisions with new options in the future.

General script options: —help display help message and exit —version display version information and exit —outfile=file write result to file. If this option is not given, and —nogs or —filter is specified, write to standard output; otherwise, the default is to construct the output file name by replacing any extension in the input file with `.pdf’. —[no]debug write debugging info (default: false). —[no]exact scan ExactBoundingBox (default: false). —[no]filter read standard input and (unless —outfile is given) write standard output (default: false). —[no]gs run Ghostscript (default: true). With —nogs, output (to standard output by default) the PostScript that would normally be converted; that is, the input PostScript as modified by epstopdf. —[no]hires scan HiresBoundingBox (default: false). —restricted=val turn on restricted mode (default: [true for repstopdf, else false]); this forbids the use of —gscmd and other options and imposes restrictions on the input and output file names according to the values of openin_any and openout_any (see the Web2c manual, http://tug.org/web2c).

Options for Ghostscript (more info below):

—gscmd=val pipe output to val (default: [gswin32c on Windows, else gs]) —gsopt=val include val as one argument in the gs command (can be repeated). —gsopts=val split val at whitespace and include each resulting word as an argument in the gs command (can be repeated). —autorotate=val set AutoRotatePages (default: None); recognized val choices: None, All, PageByPage. For EPS files, PageByPage is equivalent to All. —[no]compress use compression in the output (default: true); if turned off, passes -dUseFlateCompression=false. —device=dev use -sDEVICE=dev (default: pdfwrite); not allowed in restricted mode. —[no]embed embed fonts (default: true); passes -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true. —[no]gray grayscale output (default: false); passes -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray. —pdfsettings=val use -dPDFSETTINGS=/val (default is `prepress’ if —embed, else empty); recognized val choices: screen, ebook, printer, prepress, default. —[no]quiet use -q, a.k.a. -dQUIET (default: false). —res=dpi, dpixdpi set image resolution (default: [use gs default]); ignored if —debug is set. —[no]safer use -d(NO)QUIET (default: true).

In addition to the specific options above, additional options to be used with gs can be specified with either or both of the two cumulative options —gsopts and —gsopt.

—gsopts takes a single string of options, which is split at whitespace, each resulting word then added to the gs command line individually.

—gsopt adds its argument as a single option to the gs command line. It can be used multiple times to specify options separately, and is necessary if an option or its value contains whitespace.

In restricted mode, options are limited to those with names and values known to be safe. Some options taking booleans, integers or fixed names are allowed, those taking general strings are not.

EXAMPLES

epstopdf test.eps epstopdf test.eps test.pdf cat test.eps | epstopdf --filter >test.pdf cat test.eps | epstopdf -f -o=test.pdf

Example for using HiResBoundingBox instead of BoundingBox:

Example for epstopdf‘s attempt at correcting PostScript:

$program --nogs test.ps >testcorr.ps

In all cases, you can add —debug (-d) to see more about what epstopdf is doing.

BUGS

The case of «%%BoundingBox: (atend)» when input is not seekable (e.g., from a pipe) is not supported.

Report bugs in the program or this man page to tex-k [at] tug.org. When reporting bugs, please include an input file and the command line options specified, so the problem can be reproduced.

Information about EPS and PDF file formats

🔸 File format	EPS	PDF
🔸 Full name	EPS — Adobe Encapsulated PostScript	PDF — Portable Document Format
🔸 File extension	.eps, .epsf, .epsi	.pdf
🔸 MIME type	application/post-script, application/eps, application/x-eps, image/eps, image/x-eps	application/pdf, application/x-pdf, application/x-bzpdf, application/x-gzpdf
🔸 Developed by	Adobe Systems	Adobe Systems
🔸 Type of format	printing file format	Document format
🔸 Description	Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a DSC-conforming PostScript document with additional restrictions intended to be usable as a graphics file format. In other words, EPS files are more-or-less self-contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing and can be placed within another PostScript document.	The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
🔸 Technical details	At a minimum, an EPS file contains a BoundingBox DSC comment, describing the rectangle containing the image described by the EPS file. Applications can use this information to layout the page, even if they cannot render the PostScript inside directly.	The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language for generating the layout and graphics. A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. A structured storage system bundles these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate.

Ghostscript: How to convert EPS to PDF with the same page size

I want to convert a EPS figure to a PDF figure with the same width and height. The following command:

gswin32 -dSAFER -dNOPLATFONTS -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH \ -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 \ -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 \ -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sOutputFile="test.pdf" \ -f "test.eps" 

only produces a PDF file with the page size of a letter. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is the test EPS file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45318932/test.eps

EPS files cannot contain a media size request. In the absence of any media size request Ghostscript uses the default.

-dEPSCrop : Crop an EPS file to the bounding box. This is useful when converting an EPS file to a bitmap.

To make KenS’ answer more explicit, using the test.eps sample file you linked to. the following command will suffice to do what you want:

gswin32 \ -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer \ -dEPSCrop \ -o test.pdf \ test.eps 

The -o test.pdf is (for not too ancient versions of Ghostscript!) shorthand for -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=test.pdf .

Your test.eps uses a font named /SHZENL+Tahoma_00 . Ghostscript will automatically embed this font, and it will be a subset by default (the prefix SHZENL may change in the PDF, though).

Here is a screenshot from the page the command from your question created. That page is 612 x 792 pts (letter size):
