If no files are specified on the command line, \fBgs\fR reads from +standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not +standard input. If no output file is specified, the ASCII text is written +to standard output. +.PP +\fBps2ascii\fR doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't very good at +dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might +consider \fBpstotext\fR (see below). +.SH FILES +Run "\fBgs -h\fR" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your +system, from which you can get more details. +.SH SEE ALSO +pstotext(1), http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/virtualpaper/pstotext.html +.SH VERSION +This document was last revised for Ghostscript version 10.00.0. +.SH AUTHOR +Artifex Software, Inc. are the +primary maintainers of Ghostscript. +David M.
