+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ps2pdf
+scripts are work-alikes for nearly all the functionality (but not the
+user interface) of Adobe's Acrobat(TM) Distiller(TM) product: they
+convert PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
+.PP
+If the output filename is not specified, the output is placed in a file
+of the same name with a '.pdf' extension in the current working
+directory. Either the input filename or the output filename can be '-'
+to request reading from stdin or writing to stdout, respectively,
+when used as a filter.
+.PP
+The three scripts differ as follows:
+.IP -
+.B ps2pdf12
+will always produce PDF 1.2 output (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible).
+.IP -
+.B ps2pdf13
+will always produce PDF 1.3 output (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible).
+.IP -
+.B ps2pdf14
+will always produce PDF 1.4 output (Acrobat 5-and-later compatible).
+.IP -
+.B ps2pdf
+per se currently produces PDF 1.4 output.
+However, this may change in the future. If you care about
+the compatibility level of the output, use
+.BR ps2pdf12 ,
+.B ps2pdf13
+or
+.BR ps2pdf14 ,
+or use the
+.B \-dCompatibilityLevel=1.x
+switch in the command line.
+.PP
+There are some limitations in
+.BR ps2pdf 's
+conversion. See the HTML documentation for more information. A large
+number of Adobe Distiller(TM) parameters which can be used to control
+the conversion are also documented there, including instructions for
+generating PDF/X and PDF/A documents.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The
+.B ps2pdf
+scripts use the same options as gs(1).
