.SH NAME
epstopdf \- convert an EPS file to PDF
.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBepstopdf\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIepsfile\fP
+\fBepstopdf\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIepsfile\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBepstopdf\fP transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file
-\fIepsfile\fP so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate,
-and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox.
-This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no
-cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct. The result is piped to
-Ghostscript and a PDF version written.
+\fBepstopdf\fP transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file \fIepsfile\fP
+(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. This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result
+needs no cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct. By default, the
+result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written.
.P
-If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems.

-write result to \fIfile\fP instead of standard output.
+write result to \fIfile\fP; the default is to construct the output file
+name by replacing any extension in the input file with \fI.pdf\fP. If
+\fB--nogs\fP or \fB--filter\fP is specified, write to standard output.
+.IP "\fB--\fP[\fBno\fP]\fBcompress\fP"
+use compression (default: on).

+.IP "\fB--gscmd\fP=\fIval\fP"
+pipe output to \fIval\fP (default: [\fBgswin32c\fP on Windows, else \fBgs\fP])
+.IP "\fB--res\fP=\fIdpi\fP"
+set image resolution (default: [use gs default])
+.IP "\fB--autorotate\fP=\fIval\fP"
+set AutoRotatePages (default: None); recognized \fIval\fP choices:
+None, All, PageByPage. For EPS files, PageByPage is equivalent to All.
