and should not be put in the recent file list. The document
title will be the title in the pdf document, instead of the
filename.

-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.
The following are valid options for the conversion of PDF to
PostScript:
-binary - emit binary PostScript where possible
-end <int> - identify the last page in the document to be converted
(default is the last page of the document)
-fast - 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 VM.
-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
-annotsOff - don't print annotations
-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.
-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
-start <int> - identify the first page in the document to be converted
(default is the first page of the document)
-useFrontEndProgram
If the application is already running on this machine,
displaying on this display, and has the same application
name (specified by the -name option). Then a message
is sent to the application telling it to open any files
specified on the command line. If the application is not
already running, the application starts normally.
+useFrontEndProgram
The application starts normally without checking if it
is already running.
-visual <visual class> [depth=<depth>]
-visual id=<visual id>
-visual best
-visual default
Specifies a visual.
In the first form, the visual class (specified by either
its name or number) with an option depth determine the
visual to use.
In the second form, the visual id is specified. The prefix
0x must be used for hexadecimal numbers.
The third form uses an internal algorithm based on depth
and visual class.
The fourth form simply uses the default visual.
Note that PseudoColor visuals of depth greater than 8,
and DirectColor visuals are not supported.
