shortdesc Advanced PS, PDF, EPS converter.
longdesc a2ping is a Perl script command line utility written for Unix
longdesc that converts many raster image and vector graphics formats to
longdesc EPS or PDF and other page description formats. Accepted input
longdesc file formats are: PS (PostScript), EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF,
longdesc PNM, BMP, GIF, LBM, XPM, PCX, TGA. Accepted output formats are:
longdesc EPS, PCL5, PDF, PDF1, PBM, PGM, PPM, PS, markedEPS, markedPS,
longdesc PNG, XWD, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, XPM. a2ping delegates the low-
longdesc level work to Ghostscript (GS), pdftops and sam2p. a2ping fixes
longdesc many glitches during the EPS to EPS conversion, so its output
longdesc is often more compatible and better embeddable than its input.
