PStoPDF

This command uses Acrobat Distiller to create a PDF file from a PostScript file.

ITP/Server will instruct Acrobat Distiller to open the Src document and to save this document to the file Dest, as a PDF file. The Src document must be a PostScript file. The extension of the Src document does not matter. ITP/Server will log the start/stop events of Acrobat Distiller if the LogLevel is set to level 2 or higher (progress). It will also log other messages from Acrobat Distiller if the LogLevel is set to level 3 or higher (info).

Note

This command will fail if an Adobe Distiller is active that runs under another userid than the ITP/Server processes, when ITP/Server receives a PDF request (for Distiller).

Syntax

PStoPDF
   Src(<text>)
   Dest(<text>)
   OptionsFile(<text>)

Parameters

Src: Required.
The PostScript file that ITP/Server will convert to PDF.

Dest: Required.
The name of the resulting PDF file is required. Any existing file will be overwritten.

OptionsFile: Optional.
Specifies the name of an Acrobat Distiller job options file.

Such a file can be created by configuring Acrobat Distiller and by saving the settings to a file. By passing a job options file one can convert a file to PDF with specific job options.

Note

If this parameter is omitted, PStoPDF uses the current distiller settings.

Note

The job options file only contains the Acrobat Distiller > Settings > Job
Options settings. Security settings cannot be specified via the Job Options
files.
