NAME

extractres - extract resources from a PostScript document

SYNOPSIS

extractres [,OPTION/...] [,INFILE /[,OUTFILE/]]

DESCRIPTION

Extract resources from a PostScript document.

-m, --merge: merge resources of the same name into one file (needed e.g. for fonts output in multiple blocks)
--help: display this help and exit
--version: display version information and exit

Extractres extracts resources (fonts, procsets, patterns, files, etc) appearing in a PostScript document, and puts appropriate %%IncludeResource comments in the document prologue. The extracted resources are written to files with the same name as the resource, and an appropriate extension. The pipeline

: extractres file.ps | includeres >out.ps

will move all resources appearing in a document to the document prologue, removing redundant copies. The output file can then be put through page re-arrangement filters such as psnup or pstops safely.

Exit status:

0: if OK,
1: if arguments or options are incorrect, or there is some other problem starting up,
2: if there is some problem during processing, typically an error reading or writing an input or output file.
