SYNOPSIS
ps2ps [options] input output
DESCRIPTION
ps2ps optimizes and normalizes PostScript files by reading them through the Ghostscript interpreter and rewriting the output as clean, canonical PostScript. This process can reduce file size, resolve compatibility issues, and simplify complex PostScript code for use with printers or other tools that struggle with the original.The tool is part of the Ghostscript suite and is essentially a wrapper around gs with PostScript output enabled. If no output filename is given, the result is written to stdout.
