SYNOPSIS

pbmtoepsi [-dpi N[xN]] [-bbonly] [pbmfile]

pbmtoepsi converts PBM bitmaps to Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI includes a low-resolution preview bitmap that non-PostScript applications can display while keeping a full-resolution PostScript representation for printing. Part of the Netpbm toolkit.

-dpi N[xN]

Output device resolution in dots per inch (default 72). Use "NxM" to specify horizontal and vertical resolutions separately.
