=head1 NAME
PostScript::Convert - Use Ghostscript to convert PostScript to other formats
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.01 of
PostScript::Convert, released February 26, 2010.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use PostScript::Convert;
psconvert($filename, $output_filename);
# Base output filename on input filename:
psconvert($filename, format => 'pdf');
my $postscript = "%!PS-Adobe-3.0 ...";
psconvert(\$postscript, $output_filename);
my $ps = PostScript::File->new;
$ps->add_to_page(...);
psconvert($ps, filename => $output_filename, format => 'pnggray');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
PostScript::Convert uses Ghostscript to convert PostScript to other
formats. You will need to have Ghostscript installed.
It exports a single function:
=head2 psconvert
psconvert($input, [$output_filename], [options...])
This takes the PostScript code pointed to by C<$input> and processes
it through Ghostscript. The return value is not meaningful. It
throws an exception if an error occurs.
=head3 Input specifications
C<$input> must be one of the following:
=over
=item A string
This is interpreted as a filename to open.
=item A scalar reference
This must be a reference to a string containing a PostScript document.
=item An array reference
This must be a reference to an array of strings, which when joined
together form a PostScript document. No newlines are added when joining.
=item An open filehandle
Any argument accepted by L<Scalar::Util/openhandle> is interpreted as
a filehandle to read from.
=item A PostScript::File object
Note: in C<eps> mode, this will generate multiple output files if the
document has multiple pages.
=item Any other object
The object must implement a C<get__PostScript_File> method that
returns a PostScript::File object.
(Note: there are 2 underscores after C<get>)
=back
=head3 Output options
The remaining arguments after C<$input> are key-value pairs that
control the output. If there are an odd number of arguments following
C<$input>, then the first one is the C<filename>.
=over
=item C<filename>
This is the output filename. If omitted, it will be calculated from
C<input> and C<format>.
=item C<format>
This is the output format. If omitted, it will be taken from the
extension of C<filename>. Accepted formats are:
=over
=item C<png>
24-bit color PNG
=item C<pnggray>
8-bit grayscale PNG
=item C<pngmono>
1-bit monochrome PNG
=item C<pdf>
The preferred PDF version (currently 1.4, but subject to change).
=item C<pdf14>
PDF version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0 - 2001)
=item C<pdf13>
PDF version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0 - 1999)
=item C<pdf12>
PDF version 1.2 (Acrobat 3.0 - 1996)
=back
=item C<ghostscript>
This is the Ghostscript executable to use. It defaults to C<gs>,
except on Microsoft Windows, where it is C<gswin32c.exe>.
(You may use a pathname here.)
=item C<include>
An arrayref of directories to add to Ghostscript's search path (for
advanced users only).
=item C<input>
This is the input filename. (This is used only for calculating
C<filename> when necessary. It does not mean to actually read from
this file, and it need not exist on disk.) If omitted, it will be
taken from C<$input> (if that is a filename or a PostScript::File
object containing a filename).
=item C<device>
The Ghostscript device to use (for advanced users only). This is
normally set automatically from the C<format>.
=item C<gs_param>
An arrayref of additional parameters to pass to Ghostscript (for
advanced users only).
=item C<unsafe>
Ghostscript is normally run with -dSAFER, which prevents the
PostScript code from accessing the filesystem. Passing
S<< C<< unsafe => 1 >> >> will use -dNOSAFER instead. Don't do this
unless you trust the PostScript code you are converting.
=back
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over
=item C<< Can't %s STDIN: %s >>
There was an error while redirecting STDIN in order to run Ghostscript.
=item C<< Can't seek temporary file: %s >>
A seek failed for the specified reason.
=item C<< Don't know how to handle a %s >>
You passed an object that psconvert doesn't accept as C<$input>.
=item C<< Don't know how to handle a %s ref >>
psconvert only accepts a scalar or array reference as C<$input>.
=item C<< Expected extension in %s >>
The temporary filename created by PostScript::File must have an
extension, but it didn't.
=item C<< Ghostscript failed: exit status %s >>
Ghostscript did not exit successfully. The exit status is reported as
a decimal number (C<<< $? >> 8 >>>),
followed by " (signal %d)" if C<< $? & 127 >> is non-zero,
followed by " (core dumped)" if C<< $? & 128 >>.
=item C<< ghostscript not defined >>
The C<ghostscript> option was somehow unset. This shouldn't happen,
since it has a default value.
=item C<< Must have PostScript::File 2.00 or later, this is only %s >>
PostScript::Convert isn't directly compatible with versions of
PostScript::File older than 2.00. (If you can't upgrade
PostScript::File, then you can write the PostScript to a file and pass
that file to psconvert.)
=item C<< No extension defined for format %s >>
The specified C<format> failed to define a file extension.
=item C<< No extension in %s >>
The output filename must have a file extension.
=item C<< No output device supplied >>
The C<device> option (which normally comes from the C<format>) was not set.
=item C<< No output filename supplied >>
You didn't specify an output filename, nor did you provide an input
filename to guess it from.
=item C<< No output format or filename supplied >>
You didn't specify the C<format> option, nor did you supply an output
filename from which to guess it.
=item C<< Unable to determine format from %s >>
You didn't specify the C<format> option, and the output filename you
supplied doesn't match any known format.
=item C<< Unable to open %s: %s >>
Opening the specified file failed for the specified reason.
=item C<< Unknown format %s >>
The C<format> you specified is not valid.
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
PostScript::Convert requires no configuration files or environment variables.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
PostScript::Convert depends on L<Carp>, L<Exporter>, L<File::Spec>,
L<File::Temp>, and L<Scalar::Util>. All of these are core modules,
but you may need to install a newer version of File::Temp.
It also requires you to have Ghostscript
(L<http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>) installed somewhere on your
PATH, unless you use the C<ghostscript> option to specify its
location.
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
PostScript::Convert is not compatible with versions of
PostScript::File older than 2.00. (However, you could have an older
version of PostScript::File write the PostScript to a file, and then
pass that file to C<psconvert>.)
