FIXPS(1)                              FSF                             FIXPS(1)



NAME
       fixps - sanitize PostScript files

SYNOPSIS
       fixps [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postprocessing.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -v, --version
              display version information and exit

       -q, --quiet
              don`t print informational messages

       -o, --output=FILE
              save result in FILE.  If FILE is `-`, send to stdout

       -f, --force
              force full rewrite by ghostscript

       -n, --no-fix
              don`t fix the FILE, but still honor `-o`

       -c, --check, --dry-run
              don`t perform any action

   Fixes:
              -  Remove  junk  before  and after PostScript content - Use only
              Unix end of lines (\n) - Remove empty lines - Fix Apple prologue
              (fixmacps)  -  Fix FrameMaker prologue (fixfmps) - Fix CorelDraw
              prologue (fixnt) - Fix Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix
              Windows  95  prologue  -  Ensure there is a `%%BeginSetup/%%End-
              Setup` section - Removes        Canvas`        extraneaous  `%%EndDocument:`
              comments - Split too long lines

       If  the  FILE  seems  really in a bad state, ghostscript may be used to
       perform a full rewrite.  The output might then be significantly bigger,
       but much safer.
